Fresh Asparagus Soup recipe

Ingredients:

¾ lb of asparagus, fresh.
5 cups of water.
1 ½ cups of canned chicken broth.
2 tablespoons of plain low-fat yohgurt.
1 teaspoon of salt.
Pinch of black pepper.
Pinch of cayenne pepper.

Preparation Instructions:

Break the hard ends off the asparagus spears; then cut the remaining asparagus into one-inch pieces.

Using a saucepan, bring the five cups of water and teaspoon of salt to the boil over high heat.

Add the fresh asparagus and cook until tender (takes about 4 minutes).

Drain into a colander set over a bowl to catch the liquid; and save 2 cups of the liquid.

Place the asparagus and 2 cups of liquid in a blender and mix until smooth.

Pour the mix into a saucepan.

Stir in the chicken broth, black pepper and cayenne pepper; bring to the boil.

Remove from heat.

Stir in the plain yohgurt.

Serve as desired.
