Cook uncovered for 3-4 minutes at 750 W.
Cut off the asparagus tips and set aside.

discard the woody end, and combine with the onion. Cook
uncovered for 5 minutes at 750 W.
Add the stock, cover, and cook for a further
15-20 minutes at 500 W, stirring from time to time.
Stir in the cream cheese and blend until you are left
with a smooth creamy mixture.

If you like the flavour, when you add the asparagus tips you may
also sprinkle in two tablespoons of dill.
