Recipe Introduction

"Chicken, asparagus and corn combine for a light, comforting soup that's easy to whip up with common ingredients. If I have rotisserie chicken on hand, I toss that in."

List of Ingredients

â—¦ 2 tablespoons olive oil
â—¦ ¾ cup cut fresh asparagus (1-inch pieces)
â—¦ 1 small onion, finely chopped
â—¦ 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
â—¦ ½ teaspoon salt
â—¦ ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
â—¦ â…› to ¼ teaspoon pepper

â—¦ 1 ½ cups cubed cooked chicken breast
â—¦ ¾ cup frozen corn


Recipe

In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat.
Add asparagus and onion; cook and stir until tender, 3 to 4 minutes.

Stir in flour, salt, garlic powder and pepper until blended; gradually stir in the chicken broth and half-and-half. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir until slightly thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add chicken and corn; heat through.
