Mushroom Pillow Pasta! In Reverse!

Soupy Things

The blender is probably the scariest appliance in our kitchen. It is big. It is loud. And it turns perfectly solid food into mush. I try not to go near it. Love and hate relationship, you know the sort. But soup I wanted and soup it would make.

Asparagus makes wonderful soup, nice and unsweet but naturally yummy. I also like the colour. This soup was a mixture of frozen and fresh Asparagus and a homemade stock. I forgot to add salt to the stock and came close to oversalting the soup itself.

The real exciting part was the presentation. I cooked the tips of the asparagus and made an herbed whip cream. The whip cream had Sage and salt and white pepper in it. Although I took the photo very quickly, the cream had deteriorated something awful soon as it touched the hot soup. I guess the soup burned the whip cream.

Bon Appétit!
