- Using the same sauce pan, melt the 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-low heat, and then stir in the flour salt and pepper, and be sure to stir constantly for 2 minutes.
- Whisk in the remaining chicken broth and increase the heat to medium. Stir constantly until you reach a boil.
- Next, stir in the asparagus puree and the milk into the saucepan.
- Place your 1/2 cup of sour cream in a small bowl, then add in a ladleful of the hot soup, and mix.
- After a quick mix add the sour cream/soup mixture and lemon juice into the saucepan.
