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!
