How to Make Cream Of Asparagus

Step-by-Step

Break off and discard tough asparagus bottoms, then reak off tips; set aside.
Coarsely chop stalks; cook in skillet with onion in butter, salting lightly.
After 8 to 10 minutes, when onions are clear, sprinkle with flour; continue to stir over lowest possible heat 5 to 8 minutes.
Slowly add water or stock, stirring constantly; cook 8 to 10 minutes stirring frequently, until thickened, then cool slightly.
In blender, puree sauce bit-by-bit with milk until thoroughly smooth.
Return puree to 3-quart pan - preferably a double boiler; add dill, salt, pepper and soy sauce.
Heat gently but don't boil.
As it heats, cook asparagus tips in boiling water until tender, but still very green, about 2 minutes; drain and add whole to soup.
