Additional veggies can be added to stretch the soup further. Zucchini or celery are great options.
If using a regular blender to puree soup or hot liquids, do not seal the lid. The steam can build up and cause a dangerous mess.
If you'd prefer more texture, remove a handful of the asparagus before blending. Chop it and stir it back into the soup after blending.
To thicken, allow the soup to simmer uncovered or stir in some potato flakes.
