This was a simple, and easy recipe. I did deviate from the blender though, and chopped my asparagus into pieces about 1/2" long, and for the onions and celery, I finely chopped those as well. I like a more chunky style soup. You may need to add salt & pepper to taste, based on your preference. If you want a thicker soup, you can use heavy cream instead of half & half. I will experiment with this recipe, and update my findings a little later. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks...
