 Inspired by .99/pound asparagus, a recipe without tomatoes:
 
 2 lbs asparagus
 2 large potatoes
 2 T. dill
 1/4 c. unbleached flour
 1 c. rice milk
 salt
 
 Cut potatoes into small pieces.  In an approximately 3 qt. saucepan, boil
 potatoes until extremely tender.  While this is happening, wash asparagus. 
 Remove woody ends.  Cut into 1" sections, setting aside tips.  Add non-tip
 sections to potato pot and cook until asparagus has gone beyond bright green
 to olive green (but not brown :)).  Add dill.  Asparagus should be soft enough
 to mash along with potatoes, in the cooking water.  Don't throw out any of the
 cooking water.
 
 lightly brown flour in a small saucepan and allow to cool somewhat before
 adding rice milk.  Add liquid gradually to make a smooth pseudo-roux and add
 the roux to the soup.  Add the asparagus tips and continue cooking the soup
 just until they are tender and bright green.  Salt to taste.  Yum.
