Cream of Asparagus Soup

I love this recipe. It is a creamy soup made from rolled oats!! Healthy! You must like asparagus or don't bother. Sometimes I add cut up pork chop to it to make my husband happy. It freezes well too. I use chicken broth and it is fine without the lemon and dill. Don't forget to let it cool a little before you blend it if you have a glass blender. Yes, I learned the hard way. -Ailey
