For a richer flavor, consider using heavy cream instead of half-and-half. Feel free to substitute the asparagus with other vegetables such as broccoli florets, peas, or spinach. If you don't have fresh crabmeat, you can use canned crabmeat, but be sure to drain it well. To add a touch of heat, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes. The soup can be made ahead of time and reheated gently over low heat.
