Preparation

Step 1

Melt the butter in a small skillet and saute the onion over low heat until soft. Place the sauteed onion, canned asparagus, 1/4 cup of the asparagus liquid, the gelatin, and lobster in a blender or food processor and puree.

In a large pot, heat the soup and cream cheese together over low heat, stirring until smooth. Add the pureed ingredients, mayonnaise, and salt to the soup mixture and cook over low heat until heated through but not hot. Pour into an oiled 2-quart mold and chill until set. Unmold onto a chilled platter, garnish with parsley sprigs, cucumber, and olives, and serve with crackers and brown bread.
