Asparagus Wrap with Creamy Tomato Soup

asparagus wrap with creamy tomato soup

Ingredients:

5-6 stalks of Asparagus
1 oz. (1 slice) of part-skim organic mozzarella cheese
1 whole wheat tortilla wrap
1 ½ cups ready-to-eat, low sodium Creamy Tomato Soup

Directions:

Start by snapping the hard ends off of the bottom of the asparagus stalks such that only the tender stalk and tip remains. Set up a steaming apparatus, such as a steaming basket in a saucepan on the stovetop, or in an electric steamer. Add the asparagus to the steamer, and cook for approximately 5 minutes. Meanwhile, place the slice of cheese on the tortilla wrap. When the asparagus is steamed to a fork-tender consistency, remove it from the steam and place the tortilla over the steam, cheese face up. Steam for approximately 1 minute, or until the wrap is lightly moist. Remove from steam, add the asparagus and roll up.

Serve with your favorite tomato soup, dressed with a sprig of parsley if you have it on hand, a sprinkle of pepper, and I daresay a dash of sea salt for a delightful meal.

* Trader Joe's brand makes a great low-sodium tomato soup and whole wheat wraps too!
