Spring Asparagus Soup

 

 

Rich and creamy...
 

1 medium 

 

onion, chopped

 

2 cloves 

 

garlic, minced

 

2 Tbs 

 

reduced-calorie butter

 

1/3 cup 

 

flour

 

2 cups 

 

fat-free chicken broth

 

1 cup 

 

fat-free milk

 

1½ cups 

 

finely chopped asparagus

 

½ tsp 

 

salt

 

¼ tsp 

 

freshly ground black pepper

 

 

Spray a nonstick saucepan with nonstick spray and set over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until translucent. Add the butter. When melted, add the flour and stir until the mixture forms a ball. Remove from heat and add the broth a little at a time, whisking it into the flour completely before adding more. Return the pan to heat and stir in the milk, then add the asparagus, salt and pepper. Reduce the heat and simmer until the asparagus is tender, about 20 minutes.
