I didn't have a recipe for the cream of asparagus. I think I cooked the asparagus in some broth and saved the broth and asparagus. I think I then made sort of a cream sauce with butter, flour, and cream or half and half. Then when that was cooked, I added the broth and asparagus at the end. When it was combined, I pureed the whole thing with one of those immersion blenders. I'm pretty sure that's how I did it. I've never been that great at making white or cream sauces, but I'm pretty sure that's how I made the soup. I remember that it was good.

That first one looks good enough to just eat, but my husband doesn't like cream of soup by itself. I made some cream of asparagus once that was really good, and I had to eat it all by myself. Hard job, but somebody had to do it. -----Original Message----- From: Cookinginthedark <cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org> On Behalf Of Lisa Belville via Cookinginthedark Sent: Monday, January 11, 2021 12:21 PM To: Cooking in the Dark <cookinginthedark@acbradio.org> Cc: Lisa Belville <lisa...@frontier.com> Subject: Re: [CnD] Easy Crock Pot Smothered Chicken Recipe | CDKitchen.com I know for sure Campbell's sells a 49% lower sodium variety of Cream of chicken and cream of mushroom, but it's still pretty high in salt.
