- In a large saucepan over medium high heat, combine the carrots, onions, potato, soup, asparagus, stock, stock cubes, bay leaf, thyme, ground black pepper and margarine. Stir everything together, bring to the boil, reduce heat to medium low and let simmer until all vegetables are tender.
- Transfer to a liquidiser or food processor in small batches and puree until smooth. (Note: This soup is meant to be totally smooth, so puree until there is no sign of visible vegetable pieces.)
- Next, combine with the cream and mix all together until smooth and well blended. Return all to the saucepan and warm soup over medium low heat. (Note: Do not boil.)

This is a terrible recipe. To start with... this is supposed to be a recipe for 'vegetable soup'... so why all the chicken?! And why are you putting a tin of (chicken) soup in to a recipe for soup? Why not just buy a tin of vegetable soup and be done with it? Quite frankly one of the worst looking recipes I have ever seen. - 24 Feb 2013
I really liked this recipe. It reminds me of the soup they serve at the Dixie Stampede in Branson, MO. I added extra veggies, especially extra asparagus. My 5 kids thought the recipe okay, it varied from "amazing" (my 14 yr old boy) to "mediocre" (my 7 yr old girl). It kept well in the fridge and I thought it heated up just as good. I only had cream of chicken soup and used butter instead of margarine. I would definitely make this one again. Adding shredded sharp cheddar cheese on top of the bowls is a real flavor booster. Serve this with warm bread!!! - 10 Jun 2003 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Was not impressed it sounded good on paper but didn't turn out that way. Not worth making. - 23 Jan 2001 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
