Spring Asparagus Soup

"From Publix Greenwise Market Magazine, June 2007. Evaporated fat free milk has had much of its water removed, so it offers more than twice as much calcium per cup as regular nonfat milk. Its thick, creamy texture makes it a perfect soup ingredient."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I was born and raised in central Ohio, with family roots in West Virginia as well. I now live in coastal Florida and really enjoy having so much fresh seafood available. There are a lot of great restaurants in this area, but I decided a couple of years ago that I could make equally delicious food at home for a fraction of the cost. Since then, I've been honing my skills, trying different recipes, which in turn help me to develop new skills and try new things. I also watch a lot of Food Network TV, which gives me even greater confidence to experiment.</p>
