Wash and remove the tips from 1 pound fresh green asparagus. Simmer the tips, covered, until they are tender in a small amount of milk, water or chicken or vegetable broth.
Cut the stalks into pieces and place them in a saucepan.
Add:
1 c. chicken or vegetable broth
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tbsp. fresh parsley or celery leaves, minced
1/4 c. chopped onion
1/2 c. chopped celery
pinch of thyme
Simmer these ingredients, covered for about 1/2 hour. Rub them through a sieve or puree in a blender.
Melt:
4 tbsp. butter
Stir into butter until blended:
2 tbsp. flour
Stir in slowly:
1 cup light cream or half and half
Add the asparagus stock (from cooking). Heat the soup well until simmering in a double boiler, but do not boil. Add the asparagus tips.
Season the soup just before serving with salt, paprika, and white pepper, to taste.
Garnish with a diced, hard cooked egg (optional).
