I came across this recipe today, cut out from a magazine. It is very old and on the recipe I have marked,"Excellent, kids loved!" Our kids are 49, 52 and 53, so you see it is very old. I am making it this morning with a few modifications. Recipe is original, modifications are in my notes
Asparagus-Potato Soup
1 133/4-ounce can chicken broth
3 medium potatoes, pared and chopped (3 cups)
1/3 cup chopped onion
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg or to tastesd
8-ounce package frozen cut asparagus
1 1/2 cups light cream
1 5-ounce jar neufchatel cheese spread with pimento or 1 4 -ounce carton whipped cream cheese with pimiento
In saucepan, combine chicken broth, potatoes, onion, salt, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 5 to 8 minutes till potatoes are barely tender. Add frozen asparagus; return to boiling. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 5 minutes more or till vegetables are tender. Blend together light cream and cheese; stir into soup mixture till melted. (Do not boil.)
Makes 4 to 6 servings.
My notes: I used unpeeled Yukon Gold potatoes
Freshly ground nutmeg
Fresh asparagus, washed and cut to bite size
Kraft Pimiento Cheese spread in the small jar
I did not blend together light cream and cheese, It melts into the soup anyway.
