This is a great way to use the end of the asparagus that usually gets thrown out!  Let your kids try it too!

Place asparagus stems in the water in a large sauce pan.  Add onions, garlic, red pepper flakes-optional and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil and simmer low for 30 minutes.  Remove from heat and allow to cool.  Place the asparagus mix and 2 cups of the cooking liquid in a high speed blender.  Puree till smooth.  Add 1/2 cup of almond milk, or any milk you use, and puree a few seconds. Reheat and serve in a large cup or bowl.

Serves 2

Enjoy!
