Description
I tasted a version of this at a wonderful restaurant in Reno, Nevada and the chef was kind enough to give me ingredients, but not the recipe. The following is my version after experimenting!
|
Directions
Wash and remove tips from 1 pound fresh asparagus (about 1 inch) and simmer covered until tender in a small amount of chicken broth. Drain and set aside.
Cut remaining stalks into pieces and place them in a large saucepan. Add 1 cup chicken stock, garlic, parsley or celery leaves, onion, celery, and a pinch of thyme. Simmer, covered for about 30 minutes. Puree in a blender or food processor.
Melt butter in sauce pan, then stir in flour until blended. Stir 1 cup cream in slowly. Add pureed vegetable mix and heat until simmering. Do not boil. Add the drained asparagus tips. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
