Ingredients:
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 small onion, chopped
    3 (14½-ounce) cans reduced-sodium chicken broth
    2 pounds asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces
    3 stalks celery, thinly sliced
    ¼ teaspoon salt
    ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
    1 tablespoon fresh tarragon, chopped, divided
    ¾ cup nondairy creamer (Look for a product without hydrogenated oils, such as one made of soy.)
Directions:
  1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook 5 minutes, until softened but not browned.
  2. Add broth, asparagus, celery, salt, pepper and half of the tarragon to the pot. Bring to a boil. Lower heat, cover and simmer 20 minutes, until asparagus is very tender.
  3. In a blender, puree soup in batches until smooth. Return to pot. Add nondairy creamer and remaining tarragon. Heat soup through over medium heat.
