Chicken and asparagus make a light, comforting soup that’s easy to do with common ingredients. If we have rotisserie chicken, it goes into this soup. —Jennifer Vo, Irvine, California

Delicious! I made it as written except I used regular half and half. It gets tastier each new day. It will definitely go into my "Keepers" file!

I made it pretty much per the recipe and it was very good. We added some tea biscuits on the side. Very filling!
