Asparagus Soup

I have always been a fan of the ubiquitous potato and leek soup. I thought I would try expanding on that idea a little, and adding in some greens. This soup is just delicious. When I think about grilling asparagus, I always serve it with a generous squeeze of lemon juice. Why should this soup be any different? I started making this soup without all the lemon, and found that it just didn’t have that extra pop. The lemon juice turned this soup from “so-so” to sublime.

As a change from leek and potato soup try leek and asparagus soup. There's nothing like it on a cold day in my opinion.

For classic German white asparagus soup, you first cook the asparagus in water, and then make a light-coloured roux to which the asparagus cooking liquid is added. To thicken, an egg yolk is added at the end.
