ASPARAGUS POTATO SOUP
I was looking for a new way to eat asparagus and found this recipe in The Amish Cook at Home. I'm amazed at how simple yet delicious many of their recipes are (they look like you really worked hard). The potato thickens the soup, and it's a light color like a cream sauce. I left the skins on my potatoes and used probably a cup of onion, but otherwise I followed the recipe as listed. Make sure you whisk the milk and flour together (I added the flour slowly to the milk) or you'll end up with flour clumps. The asparagus stays nice and crisp. A variation suggested by the author is to sprinkle crumbled bacon on top as a garnish (now wouldn't that be heavenly).
