As You Wish Asparagus Soup


It's close to the end of asparagus season and I have been buying it in large amounts to enjoy. I like asparagus so much because it is the perfect example of the wonder of summer vegetables. This soup is easy to make and can easily be added to or adapted. It is nice served hot or cold, so enjoy!

Combine in a large soup pot:

1 pound fresh asparagus
4 cups water
1/2 medium onion
1 teaspoon tarragon
1 to 2 teaspoons salt
black pepper to taste

Bring to a boil, then simmer until asparagus is soft. Puree mixture. Stir in one cup of plain yogurt.

Optional: tomatoes, cauliflower, celery
