Asparagus Soup
10 steps
Prep:10minCook:30min
This is a soup I only make a couple of times a year and only in May with the freshest in season asparagus. Cutting the tips off and cooking them separately gives you nice pieces of asparagus to enjoy in the finished soup. It doesn’t get mushy or dull in colour.
