I needed to use a bunch of Asparagus, about one pound. Sooooooo-----
break the aspargus stems--save the tops--boil hard stems in 6C water with a carrot, small onion, and crushed garlic until everthing is soft and broth is soft green. Strain, reserving broth.
Remaining asparagus tops, chopped.
one med Idaho potato, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
one small onion chopped
handfull of fresh baby spinich
one T Worcesterchire sauce
one T Crystal or other La hot sauce
salt & Pepper to taste
cayenne pepper to taste
Boil potato and onion in broth until tender, add asparagus, cook until tender, add salt and pepper, worcesterchire sauce, crystal, & cayenne to taste. Add spinach and blanche--Turn off heat and blend carefully with immursable blender, or use conventional blender after cooling. You can add cream before serving (over heat) if you like it more creamy--I call this "Saving Asparagus Soup"!!! The spinach keeps it green.
P.S. If butter is your thing--melt a pat of butter in the soup and swerle it in when serving --delicious!!
