dressing
1/2 tsp. salt
1-1/4 C. shredded Swiss
1/4 tsp. pepper
cheese, divided

it will break just at the beginning of the woody part of the stem.
Discard ends.
In stock pot, cook onions in butter until clear, add half-and-
half, milk, and asparagus. Bring to a boil. Turn down the heat
and simmer until asparagus is fork tender. Add salt and pepper.
