a very tasty soup, quick and easy to make, i added a couple of potatoes and cooked for a bit longer to thicken the soup.
This recipe is fantastic. I've used the middle bit of the asparagus which I would usually throw away and used the tender tips for another recipe. It does turn out a bit thin though, It would be nicer a bit thicker
