Lemony Asparagus-Dill Soup
Hope everyone had a great weekend. Spring has been taunting us here in Boston. One week it’s sunny and warm. The next week it’s chilly and windy. I hear it’s supposed to warm up next week for one of our favorite days in Boston – Marathon Monday! But I’m getting ahead of myself.
It’s time again for another recipe from Yankee Magazine. This week, I used some fresh spring asparagus to make Lemony Asparagus-Dill Soup. Hubby and I really enjoyed this soup which is creamy, smooth, and full of the flavor of asparagus, dill, and lemon. Be sure to head over to Cooking New England to check out the full post.

There is absolutely a time and place for everything! I totally agree. This is such a classic dish, and you’ve made it beautifully. 🙂
Such a great dish. My only complaint is when people use canned green beans. The taste and texture can be killed with canned green beans. I don’t like to hear my green beans screeching while I chew them.
This picture looks delicious, by the way.
I love green bean casserole. It’s one of my favorite holiday recipes. Sometimes we spice things up and add browned ground beef to the green bean mixture and top it with mashed potatoes. This makes it more like a dinner casserole and then I can justify eating plates and plates of it…hahaha.
Ya know, this looks good, but I’ve never been anywhere this was served. Seems I might be missing out?
I completely agree with Joe. I always use fresh or frozen green beans.
We make this every year too at Thanksgiving and Christmas.My 4 kids hate mushrooms so we use cream of celery or cream of chicken.
I completely agree, this recipe is perfect (and very nostalgic) just the way it is on the package. It just wouldn’t feel like a holiday meal without this dish!
This is one of my favorite holiday side dishes! Canned green beans, soup, and all! I agree with you about having the time and place for such ingredients; it’s such a classic and familiar recipe.
