Chilled Cream of Asparagus Soup with Lump Crab

2 bunches of asparagus
1/2 of a large white onion
4 cloves of garlic
1/2 a stick of butter
1 small container of Greek yogurt
1 small container of heavy whipping cream
1/2 of a large can of chicken broth
2 cans of lump crab meat
1/2 brick of cream cheese
salt/white pepper/cayenne pepper

Sauteed onions, garlic and butter. Boil asparagus. Add onions to drained asparagus...puree with yogurt and chicken broth. I used a handheld Smart Stick, but you can use a blender or a food processor. Add heavy whipping cream till desired consistancy. Season with salt, white pepper and cayenne pepper to taste. Chill in refrigerator(12 hours to enhance flavor). In a separate bowl mix crab meat and cream cheese. Season with cayenne pepper and salt.

Place a dollop of crab meat in the bottom of each bowl and fill bowl with chilled asparagus soup. I garnished with an asparagus tip!

Refreshing, tasty and EASY!
