Many, many days (weeks?) ago now, I (okay Pat helped) made this soup, and it was good. I also think it was relatively healthy for as good as it was.  I substituted half-and-half for the cream and big scallions for the shallots.  Recommend (if you have an immersion blender)!  (via Asparagus Soup Recipe : Emeril Lagasse : Food Network)
