Ingredients



    Asparagus, fresh, 311.8 grams
    Onions, raw, 1 slice, large (1/4" thick)
    3/4 cup boiling water
    Light Cream (coffee cream or table cream), .5 cup
    Milk, 1%, 1 cup
    Salt, .5 tsp
    Pepper, black, 1 dash

Directions

Snap the ends off one pound of asparagus and cut into 1-inch pieces. The odd gram conversion is because the ingredients wouldn't give me the option for ounces. When I was done cutting it all up, this was about 11 ounces.

Dice a thick slice of diced onion.

Mix asparagus and onion in a saucepan with 3/4 cup of boiling water. Cook covered for 10 minutes.

Pour UNDRAINED asparagus and onion into a food processor with 1 cup of milk, 1/2 cup of light cream, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and a dash of pepper.

Purree for a good and plenty while--there should be no chunks!

Makes four 3/4-cup servings.
