Soupe D'asperge!

It's really rainy today and made me feel like having a soup! So i remembered the soup I had at Scoozi a while ago... it was the first time I taste it and loved it! 

Too bad I didn't take a picture of it (obviously  I was starving ) So i'm sharing with you a recipe of this yummy soup

Creamy Asparagus Soup Recipe

(Serves 4-6 persons)

Ingredients:

•          2 tablespoons butter
•          2 tablespoons flour
•          1/2 teaspoon salt
•          1/8 teaspoon pepper
•          2 cups milk
•          3/4 pound fresh asparagus
•          boiling water
•          salt and pepper -- to taste
  

Make the white sauce:

Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Blend in flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Stir until smooth. Add milk; cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and begins to bubble.
Set aside.

Wash asparagus and cut in 1/2-inch pieces. Cook asparagus in a small amount of boiling water until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain, reserving the cooking liquid. Set aside a few of the asparagus tips or pieces aside for garnish, if desired. Mash or blend remaining asparagus; set aside. Add enough boiling water to cooking liquid to make 1 cup; add white sauce and pureed asparagus. Heat thoroughly; season to taste with salt and pepper. Add whole asparagus pieces and serve. 

Sahtein!
