Asparagus Soup

I did a lot of cooking last weekend – I hadn’t cooked seriously in a while, and must have been avoiding something for I must have spent half of Saturday cooking.

One recipe I tried was for asparagus soup (generally speaking, I would prefer to eat asparagus simply steamed – but these spears were a little old, so I sacrificed them to the soup) from James Peterson’s Splendid Soups: Recipes and Master Techniques for Making the World's Best Soups which I bought in a moment of weakness about a month ago. Judging from this recipe (and my all consuming love of foods served in bowls), it was money well spent. It was simple, delicate, and I’d be willing to sacrifice fresh asparagus to make this soup again.
