Cook, stirring with wire whisk, until mixture is thickened and hot. Stir in asparagus. Heat through and serve. Good topped with cheese. Serves six bowls.

I made this tonight for my boys...this is their favorite apsaragus meal! I always have to double it and I always add more apsaragus than it calls for and I always add cheese and I always get rave reviews...when it turns out. Every once in awhile you just have a "should not have made any sort of food" day. Mine STARTED that way, I messed up the soup first thing this morning but it has turned out tonight.

I can't take credit for the recipe. My mom has been making it for years out of a Country Cooking

The Pioneer Woman Cooks site inspired me to share this recipe with you and to include a photo, enjoy!
