Creamy Asparagus Soup

Creamy Asparagus Soup

I wish I had some inspirational moment for making this, but I really just thought that green soup would look good in this blue mug with the placemat underneath.  Also, a lot of asparagus soups are served chilled, but I just can’t wrap my head around cold soup, so mine is served warm!
