Ingredients

• Nonstick cooking spray
• 4 cups asparagus ends, cut into 1 inch pieces
• 1 cup 1 cup diced onion
• 2 Tbs chopped garlic
• 2 medium yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut in half lengthwise
• 5 cups water
• juice of 1/2 lemon
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Spray a 6 quart pan with nonstick spray. Heat on medium high heat. Add onions and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Add asparagus and sauté an additional 6-8 minutes, until onions and asparagus begin to caramelize, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and salt; stir for about a minute. Add water and potatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes until potatoes are tender and asparagus is soft.

In a blender, blend in small batches as hot liquid expands, or use an immersion blender and blend in pot. Strain the pulp. Return strained broth to the pot. Add lemon juice and greek yogurt. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
