How to Make Lazy Pantry Asparagus Soup

  1. Drain two (14-ounce) cans of asparagus, reserving one can for later.
  2. Combine the drained asparagus and 4 cups of chicken broth in a blender. Blend until completely smooth.
  3. Pour the pureed soup into a medium saucepan and heat over medium heat until warmed through (about 5 minutes). Season with salt and pepper to taste. Consider adding other seasonings like garlic powder or onion powder.
  4. While the soup simmers, heat the remaining can of asparagus according to package directions, or in the microwave for 2-3 minutes until warmed through.
  5. Divide the warmed asparagus among four bowls.
  6. Stir 1/4 cup of half-and-half or light cream and 1 tablespoon of butter into the warm soup. Heat through for another minute.
  7. Ladle the soup over the asparagus in each bowl.
  8. Garnish each serving with a dollop of sour cream (about 1 tablespoon per bowl) and enjoy!
