"Delicious spring-time soup. The crab is optional but I think it makes the soup so great. You can substitute shrimp meat for the crab, if you'd like."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream, chives and lemon juice. Season with salt and white pepper. Cover and refrigerate until needed to blend the flavors.
- Heat the olive oil and butter in a soup pot over medium heat. Add the asparagus and onion; cook and stir until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme, and cook just until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the flour until smooth, then gradually whisk in the chicken stock to avoid causing lumps. Add the potatoes and bring to a simmer. Simmer over medium heat until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
- Puree the soup in a food processor or blender, or use a stick blender in the pot. Return to the pot and bring to a gentle simmer. Season with salt and white pepper.
- To serve, ladle soup into warmed bowls and garnish with a dollop of the chive sour cream and a few chunks of crabmeat. Garnish with additional chives if you have extra.

Kind of bland. It needs something, but I can not put my finger on it. I did like the sour cream sauce with it.

Easy! Really really good. The crab was a nice twist to an old faithful.

No real changes except I made without the crab. Just had too much asparagus on hand and wanted to use up. This is very good as is.

Bland flavor despite adding 1/4 tsp. curry powder as suggested by another reviewer. Crabmeat was expensive and did not enhance this soup. Unappealing color. Sounded delicious and gourmet, but ...
