Asparagus Soup

Still thinking “spring” here; so I made some ~ Homemade Creamy Asparagus Soup!
I only use recipes as a guide and almost always alter them to my own liking, that’s just the way I roll.  So if you want the recipe there are plenty of them out there – google yourself one!  
However; to give you a little guide, I cooked some of the asparagus, onion, celery and seasonings in chicken broth, then I used an immersion blender before adding the roux and milk mixture.  And then because we like to sink our teeth into our food I added some additional chopped fresh asparagus at the end.  Oh My Goodness - did it turn out good!

Here are some pics of our tasty dish!

I'm looking for asparagus recipe ideas. This year will be my first harvestable crop of asparagus and I can hardly wait. Now I'm off to find a recipe.
I'm sending Springtime thoughts your way! :)
