Using a slotted spoon, transfer the asparagus to the bowl of ice water. Drain. Reserve 7 1/2 cups of the cooking liquid.

Steps:
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic, and saute 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add asparagus and saute another 4 minutes. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer and cook for 30 minutes, until asparagus is very tender. *Carefully transfer to a blender and puree until smooth. Return to saucepan, stir in sour cream and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to serving bowls. Dust with paprika and serve.
- *When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.

CREAM OF ASPARAGUS AND MUSHROOM SOUP
I was on a work trip in Oklahoma City several years ago and had a delicious bowl of cream of asparagus soup at a cute cafe, and I spent a year trying to recreate my own version of this heart-warming soup. With the collaboration of my family's ideas, I have come up with a version of soup that I serve for our formal holiday meals as a starter course.

Steps:
- Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Crumble bacon when cool; set aside. Reserve 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings.
- Melt butter with drippings in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Cook and stir celery and onion in the saucepan until onion is translucent, about 4 minutes.
- Whisk flour into the mixture and cook for 1 minute.
- Whisk in chicken broth and bring to a boil.
- Add potato and chopped asparagus stalks, reserving the asparagus tips for later. Season with salt and ground black pepper.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup right in the cooking pot.
- Cook and stir mushrooms and asparagus tips in the same skillet used for bacon until mushrooms give up their liquid, 5 to 8 minutes. Season with salt and ground black pepper, if needed.
- Stir mushrooms, asparagus tips, and half-and-half cream to pureed soup. Cook until thoroughly heated.
- Garnish soup with crumbled bacon.

- Add stock and some salt and pepper; bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until asparagus is very tender, about 10 minutes. Cool at least a few minutes.
- Pour soup into a blender, in batches if necessary, and carefully purée. Return to pan, and, over medium-low heat, reheat gently. When soup is hot, adjust seasoning. Put 3 or 4 asparagus flower ends in each of 4 bowls; ladle in soup, and serve.

Steps:

- Puree the soup in small batches adding the remainder of the stock.

CREAMY GINGER-ASPARAGUS SOUP
Creamy is front and center in the recipe title and it is certainly earned, but this silky vegan soup takes an alternative route from the usual dairy-based add-ins to get there. The secret ingredients that create the creamy texture are probably already in your pantry: starchy russet potatoes and heart-healthy olive oil. Aromatics like cilantro, shallot, and ginger are blended in to punch up the flavor; and while you won't be able to taste it, baby spinach gives the soup its vibrant green color.

ASPARAGUS, LEEK, AND POTATO SOUP
This was just a creation I came up with when my asparagus was looking a little old. At first, I thought I was going to add some sort of cream base, but the soup ended up not needing it. The vegetables just taste lovely as they are. Even my husband who hates soup and asparagus LOVED this! It is also a great way to use almost-expired vegetables in your veggie drawer!
