Curried Cream Of Asparagus Soup With Crab

1. 1

   Cook asparagus, onion, and potato (layered in that order) in a round covered casserole dish, with the chicken broth, in the microwave on high for 10 minutes (stirring 2-3 times).

2. 2

   When vegetables are tender, remove half of the potatoes and set them aside (you can also set aside the asparagus tips if you like).

3. 3

   Put the vegetables in a blender and puree until smooth (you may have to do it in two batches, depending on the size of your blender). Alternately, put them in a pot and use a hand blender.

4. 4

   Put the puree in a pot on medium heat and whisk in 1 T flour. Stir until smooth and soup begins to boil.

5. 5

   Reduce heat to medium-low (simmering) and add the remaining potatoes to the pot.

6. 6

   Stir in the butter, milk, garlic, curry, cayenne, black pepper, salt and Worcestershire, and simmer for 10 minutes.

7. 7

   Add the crab (and asparagus tips if you saved them) and simmer for 5 minutes.
