|
|
|
| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Wash the asparagus. Snap off the tough ends and cut into 1-inch pieces. Dissolve the bouillon cubes in ˝ cup hot water in a 2-quart covered casserole.
|
2. Add the tougher pieces of the asparagus and cook, covered, in the microwave oven for 3 minutes. Add all but the tender tips of the remaining asparagus and stir.
|
3. Cook, covered, 2 minutes more. Add the tender tips and stir. Cook, covered, until the asparagus is tender (about 5 to 6 minutes).
|
4. Add the remaining 3˝ cups water and seasonings and bring to a boil. Serve in soup bowls, adding a generous spoon of sour cream to each bowl.

TIP:
|
|
This soup is better yet if you have real chicken soup to start with. If you do, replace the bouillon and the water with 4 cups clear chicken soup.
