CREAM OF ASPARAGUS SOUP

(RECIPE POSTED BY ANGELA BEADLE CORCORAN)

2 tbs. butter
2 c. leeks ( I used onion)
6 c. diced asparagus
1 qrt. chicken broth
1 cup cream
2 tbs. parmesan cheese
 Salt and pepper

Melt butter, add leeks, cook for 3-5 min.
Add broth and asparagus, bring to a boil , then simmer for 15 min..cool.
Puree this in blender.
When ready to serve, reheat this and add the cream and cheese, salt and pepper and a dash of nutmeg.
When I cleaned my asparagus, I saved the woody ends that I would normally throw out, put them in the freezer until I had enough...it was a little woody , so next time i will push it through a sieve after pureeing it... the flavour was great though!!
