Creamy Asparagus Chowder image

This is from Shirley Beachum of Shelby Michigan. She writes, "While this soup's good with fresh asparagus, it can also be prepared with frozen or canned. In fact, I like to blanch and freeze asparagus in portions just right for this recipe--that way, I can make our favorite chowder all year."
