I just had a nice bowl of our family’s favorite asparagus soup. I use the recipe below, but skip the flour, reduce the milk by a quarter cup and add the zest of one lemon. It is satisfying , and like the statement below says, it really balances my blood sugar levels.
“Asparagus is a nutrient-packed vegetable. It is a very good source of fiber, folate, vitamins A, C, E and K, as well as chromium, a trace mineral that enhances the ability of insulin to transport glucose from the bloodstream into cells. That's good news if you're watching your blood sugar.
In addition to all those vitamins, 1 cup of cooked asparagus has 40 calories, 4 grams of protein, 4 grams of fiber and 404 milligrams of potassium.”

Cream of Asparagus Soup
This asparagus soup is super easy to make with fresh asparagus, broth, sour cream, and a squeeze of lemon for a creamy, silky smooth spring soup.
