I had ham so used that instead of chicken and it was delicious. I didn't have enough half and half and used mostly Evaporated milk. Didn't have parsley and substituted cilantro and chives. At end I made the biggest change to it because we like some spice. Added about 1\/2 tsp. Thai spicy chili sauce which made it a 5 star recipe to our tastes. Also, I had left over raw cauliflower I needed to use up and added that to the veggies. I really think you could use any veggies in this soup but the asparagus, carrots, onion, and potatoes seem integral. It cracked me up the recipe didn't specify when to add the asparagus tips or milk, but I added the asparagus when I turned the burner off and added the milk once it looked cooked.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2013-03-20","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"amommy9"},"reviewBody":"This recipe pleased even my pickiest eaters.

Loved it! I was a little short on the asparagus so I pureed the stalks also and the soup turned out delicious... definitely will make this again.<\/p>","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"05\/02\/2013 13:13","GUID":"07473e75c00c4b7f951dcde6cf0f1e28","MemberId":6614646,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"kansaswood","SubmittedDate":"05\/02\/2013 13:13"},{"Comment":"
Made this, or a close variation on the theme, many times. French Bread with fresh garlic, balsamic vineger sprinkled over and a generous pile of Parmie cheese and under the broiler for a few minutes. Toss in a green salad, and you have major 'Good Eats.'<\/p>","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"05\/02\/2013 07:18","GUID":"447eea1ed363453a89dcbccf3a451644","MemberId":6360805,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"fredaevans","SubmittedDate":"05\/02\/2013 07:18"},{"Comment":"

This recipe pleased even my pickiest eaters. I didn't have cream so I added a scoop fo sour cream instead. Also didn't have the herbs on hand, but it was great with just salt and pepper.<\/p>","CommentId":15,"DateRated":"03\/20\/2013 21:36","GUID":"bf599aa378c84e50baa4624d5ff78292","MemberId":7189823,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"amommy9","SubmittedDate":"03\/20\/2013 21:36"},{"Comment":"
I changed it some but followed basic recipe. I had ham so used that instead of chicken and it was delicious. I didn't have enough half and half and used mostly Evaporated milk. Didn't have parsley and substituted cilantro and chives. At end I made the biggest change to it because we like some spice. Added about 1\/2 tsp. Thai spicy chili sauce which made it a 5 star recipe to our tastes. Also, I had left over raw cauliflower I needed to use up and added that to the veggies. I really think you could use any veggies in this soup but the asparagus, carrots, onion, and potatoes seem integral. It cracked me up the recipe didn't specify when to add the asparagus tips or milk, but I added the asparagus when I turned the burner off and added the milk once it looked cooked.<\/p>","CommentId":16,"DateRated":"01\/02\/2012 13:47","GUID":"014936dbef444de2be5f2745025a5618","MemberId":6434348,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"LindaPedsPT","SubmittedDate":"01\/02\/2012 13:47"},{"Comment":"
Great asparagus and chicken combination and a wonderful way to use those asparagus stalks for stock. I used milk instead of half-and-half and added a little flour for thickening because we watch our cholesterol, and it was still very good.<\/p>","CommentId":17,"DateRated":"01\/29\/2011 18:01","GUID":"c98fcf62164a498fb324d654a75a46fb","MemberId":2222889,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"TerryH1387","SubmittedDate":"01\/29\/2011 18:01"}]},"breadcrumb":[{"term_id":312672,"name":"Soups","slug":"soups","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":312607,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Choose from a large selection of ingredients when making these irresistible soup recipes, including gazpacho, potato soup, vegetable soup, lentil soup, chicken soup, chowder, turkey soup, broth, bean soup, ham soup, barley soup, meatball soup and more.","parent":310796,"count":3196,"filter":"raw","term_order":"0","url":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/dishes-beverages\/soups\/"},{"term_id":312895,"name":"Vegetable Soups","slug":"vegetable-soups","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":312830,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Satisfy your healthy diet with these great vegetable soup recipes, including split pea soup, chicken vegetable soup, beef vegetable soup, mixed vegetable soup and more.","parent":312672,"count":1566,"filter":"raw","term_order":"0","url":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/dishes-beverages\/soups\/vegetable-soups\/"},{"term_id":312897,"name":"Asparagus Soups","slug":"asparagus-soups","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":312832,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Looking for recipes for asparagus soup?
