Cheesy Asparagus Soup

I froze some asparagus

and never got around to using it.

New Years organizing required me

to get my freezer in order.

So I looked up a recipe

for frozen asparagus soup

and altered it to use items I had.

IT WAS YUMMMMMMMMMY.

Ingredients:

2 packages (12 ounces each) frozen cut asparagus

1/2 onion or leek

Cook gently on medium/high until limp.
Puree and set aside.

Add some of the milk below if necessary.

1/4 cup butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1-1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 to 1 teaspoon pepper

1 package of nacho cheese powder

OR 1 cup monterey jack cheese

Stir together until it creates a paste.

4 cups milk

In a large pot start bringing milk to a boil.
Add your cheese paste.

Whisk well.

Add the pureed asparagus.

Optional:
4 to 5 drops hot pepper sauce

Serve with crumbled bacon and extra cheese.

"Bon Appetit!"
