Default Creamy Asparagus soup

1 can chicken broth - the size about 14 oz.
3-4 oz cream cheese
1 can asparagus, drained
season with pepper, onion powder, garlic powder

Heat the cream cheese in the broth until it softens. I use about 2 cups homeade chicken stock, which makes it even better! Drain and pour in the asparagus. Insert a hand blender and blend until smooth. Or you can put it in your blender in small batches but I highly recommend a little insertion blender - even a cheap one, less than $10, is invaluable! Be sure and hold it all the way under the liquid or your walls will be splattered green

It's fine with just like that, but to make it a really yummy meal:
I have added parmesan cheese, ground beef and sometimes I sautee a bit of onion and a clove or two of garlic before adding the broth, then simmer until onion is tender, especially if I don't have any homemade chicken broth.

Let me know how you like it! I may have posted this here before but it was probably a couple of years ago if I did!
