This delicious cream of asparagus soup from Delish.com couldn't be easier. 

Cream of Asparagus Soup

butter

garlic,

lb. asparagus, ends trimmed, cut into 1" pieces

Kosher salt

black pepper

chicken broth

c. heavy cream,

chives,

dill,

I have made this recipe and its good. But the next time I tweaked it. I actually prefer more texture to the soup. I suggest leaving some of the pieces of asparagus (2 cups) apposed to pureeing all of it. My modifications are in a separate pot; 1/2 cup baby carrots cut to 1/2". 1/4 cup celery chopped. 1/4 cup diced yellow onion. Saute'd in butter with the chopped garlic clove. While veggies are still firm add (2 c) chopped asparagus and a 1/2 cup of broth. (simmer w/ lid 8 mins). 1 can of Cream of Mushroom added to the puree as well as a cup of broth. Add veggies back to creamed mixture. Serve topped with shredded cheese and dust with dill. I LOVE asparagus!

This was delicious. Easy recipe. Turned out perfect!

Probably three 3rd recipe I've made from this site.  Beautiful color and texture.   I'd made a corned beef a couple of days ago and  added that to the garlic butter. Didn't have fresh herbs so added some thyme and dill.  Cooked as recipe said,  but had to run an errand so I turned it off, reheated and totally loved this.

Super easy and really tasty! I was roasting some asparagus for dinner and decided to use the tougher ends for this recipe rather than throwing them away. I had enough to make a half-batch of this soup, and was really pleased with the outcome.

Really good tasting  and easy. Do you think it can be frozen?

The simple step of sauteing the asparagus prior to adding the broth to simmer gave such a depth of flavor. Quick to make and delish! I will make this again.

I love this recipe. I do however add tips in after emerson & I top with cheddar cheese

First time making asparagus soup.  This recipe is terrific.  So quick and easy. I only Used a lb. of veggie but turned out great.  Not sure if I will use 2 lbs.  Everything else the same.  Just right amount for two people..

This turned our really good. I didnt have any dill and it still tasted great. I used better than bullion roasted garlic giving the soup added flavor. I also reduced the portion for two people.

I had never tasted asparagus soup before and I was looking for a quick and easy recipe to make on the fly. This was super simple and delicious. I would make it again❤️

This is the first recipe I have made on this site.  I thought it was yummy.  Three out of three family members who tried it loved it.  That includes me and two children age 11 and 9.  Other children would not touch it.  Their loss... more for us.  The only set back for me was that it did not end up being "the prettiest color"... I may have simmered it for too long.  I would reccomend sticking with 10mins and not more.  Asparagus is one of my favorite spring vegetables, so I will probably be making this again.

Good but too healthy,We did 3 Lb. Try, using kitchen sheers, cut up 1 piece of bacon and saute with the butter. Continue as directed... Then when you add the cream put in 1/4 to 1/2 C cheese.  Add some dried dill during cook. A little extra kosher salt and coarse pepper.. -
Awsome!!!  Dont worry your Dr needs some reason why you died, 50 years from now !!! Im 68, had heart cath.  No blockage and i eat meat, the fat, lots of salads and vegies.  Kinda like a cave man.  Dr says its unusual.  Haaaa. My wife will attest.

Oven Baked Greek Chicken Thighs

Whisk together ingredients for marinade.  Toss chicken in marinade to fully coat.  Allow to sit for at least 15 minutes, or keep in the refrigerator for longer, up to overnight.

When ready to cook, preheat oven to 425°F. 

Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.&nbsp; Arrange chicken on baking sheet in a single layer.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.

Cheesy leeks are great as a side dish for roast chicken – especially if you are serving vegetarians as well as meat eaters. This recipe makes enough for a generous supper for two or a vegetable accompaniment for four. 


Cheesy leeks

grams/¾oz plain flour

200 milliliters/7fl oz milk, semi-skimmed

tsp English or Dijon mustard

grams/3½oz mature cheddar cheese,

tbsp dried white breadcrumbs (ideally panko breadcrumbs), optional

salt and black pepper

Golden potatoes roasted with garlic and rosemary are your perfect side dish.

Crispy Roasted Garlic and Rosemary Potatoes

½ pounds Yukon gold potatoes (cut into 1 and 1/2 inch chunks)

garlic

rosemary (chopped)

pepper

Preheat oven to 425°F with baking sheet in the oven so that it gets hot.

In a bowl, add potatoes, garlic cloves, olive oil and rosemary, salt and pepper to taste. Toss until everything is fully coated in oil.

When oven is hot, carefully remove baking sheet and pour potatoes onto the hot pan, arranging in a single layer. Flip potatoes so that the cut side is facing the pan (that is how they will get crispy).

Bake for 45-60 minutes, flipping halfway through. They are done when potatoes and garlic are golden brown.
