Creamed Fresh Asparagus Recipe
Ingredients
Directions
- Trim asparagus and cut into 1 1/2 inch pcs. Cook in lightly salted water till tender. Make a sauce by melting the butter, stir in the flour and chicken cube, and gradually add in lowfat milk while cooking on medium high heat. When all lowfat milk has been added and mix is smooth and cooking, remove from heat. Drain asparagus, keep 3/4 c. of the liquid. Pour white sauce over asparagus and stir well to achieve the desired consistency, add in the reserved liquid or possibly more lowfat milk. This is good over toast or possibly baked potatoes. By adding a bit more lowfat milk and all of the juice, this can be made into cream of asparagus soup.
