Low-fat Cream of Asparagus Soup

Ingredients:
asparagus, raw
butter, without salt
wheat flour, white, all-purpose, unenriched
spices, garlic powder
milk, fluid, 1% fat, without added vitamin a and vitamin d
onions, spring or scallions (includes tops and bulb), raw
salt, table
spices, pepper, black

Directions:
Take one asparagus spear, hold at both ends, and bend it until it breaks.
Use the broken spear as a guide and cut the remaining spears to approximately the same length, discarding the large ends.
Slice asparagus spears in 1 inch lengths.
You should have about 2 cups of asparagus pieces.
Cook the asparagus pieces in a small amount of boiling water for 10 minutes or until tender.
Drain well.
While asparagus cooks, place (unmelted) butter, flour, and garlic into a blender container.
Top with cooked asparagus, then add all remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.
Pour into saucepan and heat gently until soup thickens.
I like to use thinly sliced green onion tops, low-fat sour cream and a couple of croutons for a garnish.
