Cream of Asparagus Soup


Austin and I went to a local restaurant and the soup of the day was cream of asparagus soup. It sounded interesting so we tried it and it was pretty good. So the next week we got asparagus from Bountiful Baskets. Anyway I put this together and Austin said it was even better then theirs :).

3 Shallots chopped
2 celery chopped
2 teaspoons fresh ground peppercorns
1 large potato chopped
1 bunch of asparagus cut into 1" pieces
1/2-3/4 cup milk
1/2-3/4 cup sour cream
2 T butter
4 cups chicken broth


Saute shallots and celery in butter till tender. Add potato, asparagus, pepper and broth. Boil till tender. Pour into a blender and puree. Pour back into pot and add milk and sour cream. Serve with baguette or bread croutons. Enjoy
