We have a small asparagus patch, and my husband and I wait eagerly for this tasty vegetable to appear every spring. We're pleased to use our precious harvest in this soup. Lemon and nutmeg give it a surprising spark. -Darlene Swille, Green Bay, Wisconsin

This soup was a bit too sour for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less lemon juice.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added some more herbs or spices.

This soup was easy to make and had a nice flavor. I would have liked it to be a bit thicker, so next time I will add a little more flour or cornstarch.

This soup was good, but not great. The lemon flavor was a bit too strong for my taste, and the asparagus was a bit too chewy. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less lemon juice and cooked the asparagus for a little longer.
