Asparagus Soup

Smiley did it to me again.
Giada made
Asparagus soup with herbed goat cheese.

And so did I.
This was way easy and fast!
I didn't think to take a picture of it but it's really pretty and
very green.
The goat cheese is not over powering so only if you really
can't stand goat cheese, omit it. It really brings a
great flavor to the party.

Giada calls for chicken broth but I don't see any
reason why your couldn't substitute
vegetable broth and make it vegetarian.
Right? Vegetarian can have the cheese, Vegan cannot?
I also think there is room in there to sub out white wine
for some of the broth.

Oh, and here's a handy dandy tip for you,
treat your fresh asparagus much as you would fresh flowers.
Cut off the bottoms and stand it up in water.
But keep it in your fridge,
not on the table,
like a centerpiece,
like you would flowers.
...but you figured that out....
