Spring is always such a busy time for me. This is a cheater recipe. It is a lovely soup, mind you, but uses a can of asparagus rather than fresh. If I bother to buy and cook fresh, I want to eat it that way! And I never eat canned asparagus as a side. Way too mushy for me. That mush makes a wonderful soup, though.
This is creamy and cheesy. Yum. And that lemon pepper just makes in sing. Don't leave it out! On the run today, so that is all I have. This soup will be done in almost no time at all. Enjoy.
