Asparagus Soup

Clearly I'm no food photographer.

1/2 cup cream, 1 bunch of asparagus (tips cut off, rest of stalks cut into 1/2 inch pieces), 1 medium onion (diced), 1 medium potato (skin peeled and diced), 1/4 tsp dill, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp pepper (i used 1/4 tsp), 3 cups chicken broth or stock, 2 tbsp margarine.

Cook butter at medium-high heat, add onions, cook for 3 minutes. Add cut asparagus stalks, cook for two minutes. Add chicken broth or stock, potato, dill, salt, and pepper. Bring to boil. Reduce to medium heat, cook 10-12 minutes or until potato is very tender. Meanwhile, put asparagus tips in bowl w/ 1 tbsp water. Microwave, covered by plastic wrap, high one minute. When potato is tender, turn off heat, stir in cream. Add asparagus tips as garnish.
This would've been better with crescent rolls.

It's Mother's Day, so Mom, thanks for all the wonderful meals you've made me, the dinners you've taken me out to, the food you've made me or bought me when I'm ill or incapacitated and the recipes you've shared with me. Furthermore, thanks for the spontaneous pies and making me chicken sandwiches.
