Default Recipe Needed

Mayday, Mayday ... !

I need a recipe for LC cream of asparagus soup ... can anyone help me?

I bought 5 lbs. of asparagus, froze most of it but have a few spears & the stem ends which I was hoping to make soup out of.

I'm not one for fancy, smancy, exotic recipes so if anyone has one or two basic recipes for cream of asparagus soup I would be eternally grateful. I'd like to go to the farm to buy more but am waiting to see if I can find a good soup recipe. I'd like to freeze the soup to use for lunches.

Thanks in advance to whomever responds, you guys are terrific!

1 pound fresh asparagus
1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons plain protein powder (to thicken)
1 teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
1/2cup heavy cream and 1/2 cup water to make 1 cup mixture
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice


Directions
1 Cut asparagus into ½- to 1-inch pieces. Put the asparagus and 1/2 cup chicken broth in a saucepan, cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered until asparagus is tender, about 12 minutes.
2 Process the mixture in a blender to puree the vegetables. Set aside.
3 In the same saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Blend in the protein powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly for 2 minutes. Don't let the mixture brown. Whisk in the remaining chicken broth. Raise the heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly until the mixture boils. Stir in the asparagus puree and the cream/water mixture.
4 Put the sour cream in a small bowl, ladle a little of the hot mixture into the sour cream to warm it, and stir to blend. Add the sour cream mixture and the lemon juice to the soup and stir well. Continue stirring while heating the soup to serving temperature, but don't allow it to boil. Serve immediately.
