Cream of Asparagus Soup Recipe

Melt butter over low heat in a large pot. Add the onion and sauté until soft, about 2 minutes.

Cut the asparagus in half and add to the pot along with chicken broth and black pepper, to taste. Bring to a boil, cover and cook low about 20 minutes or until asparagus is very tender.

Remove from heat, add sour cream and using your hand held blender, puree until smooth (or in two batches in a large blender).
