Asparagus Soup

I (we) had a wonderful time with my sister, weeks just flew while she was here. Eating, gossiping, sightseeing, shopping etc....did i say gossiping :-) actually it wa not gossiping, it was catching up with all the stories which happened to family back at home.

One would have thought after a month of all these one is fully relaxed and ready to blog, but then my daughters final exams starts in the middle of june.......so have to keep a eye on her.

While I was away I received few awards to my delight.Got a yummy Blog award from Ranji of Ranjis Kitchen Corner

The season of Aparagus is here and now at the moment they are the best, so I made this delicious soup.Here we love this soup as I only make them in this season when they are at their best and also price is low.

Mixing butter and flour

Almost done

Ingridients.
1 bunch of Asparagus
40 gm butter
40 gm flour
2 litre vegetable broth
250 ml cream
Peper and salt to taste
Parsley for garnishing.

Method:
Peel the asparagus and wash them can cut them into small chunks.
Keep the tips seperate as you can add them in the last minute.

Heat a large pan, add the butter and flour and stir for 1 or 2 minute and then add the vegetable broth a little by little and stir continusly so that no lump is there.

Add the asparagus, salt and peper and cook for 10 minutes till they are soft.Blend the soup in a mixer ( I used a hand mixer).
Pour it back into the pan and add the tips of the asparagus cook for futher few minutes and then add the cream.
