Creamy Asparagus Soup - Crema de Espárrago

Do you love asparagus? So do we! Fresh asparagus is abundant in Spain in the springtime and very popular. This recipe is easy and quick, which makes it perfect for any dinner. It's so tasty that your kids will probably eat it not realizing it is good for them! Best of all, it turns out a creamy and delicious soup, but only has a 1/2 cup of milk - and no cream or butter for those of us watching our weight.

If you make it ahead or have left-overs, store in refrigerator in a sealed container and heat when ready to serve. It keeps well for 3-4 days. If it is too thick when re-heated, simply stir in a bit of water or milk as it is re-heating.
