This soup is the perfect way to use up leftover asparagus. It's also a great make-ahead meal. I like to make a big batch on the weekend and then I have lunch or dinner ready to go all week.

I'm not a huge fan of asparagus, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The soup was very flavorful and the asparagus wasn't overpowering.

I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and it was still delicious. I also added some chopped carrots and celery for extra flavor.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste and it was much better.
