How to make asparagus soup

• Cut 1 1/2 inch off the tops of half the asparagus and set aside for a garnish.
• Slice the remaining asparagus.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large saucepan and fry the sliced shallots for 2 to 3 minutes until soft.
• Add the asparagus and fry over low heat for about 1 minute.
• Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
• Stir in the stock or water and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
• Bring to the boil, half cover the pan, then simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until the asparagus is very tender.
• Cool slightly and then process the soup in a food processor or blender until smooth.
• Press the pureed asparagus through a sieve into a clean saucepan.
• Add the milk by pouring and stirring it through the sieve with the asparagus so as to extract the maximum amount of asparagus puree.
• Melt the remaining butter and fry the reserved asparagus tips gently for 3 to 4 minutes to soften.
• Heat the soup gently for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Stir in the cream and the asparagus tips.
• Continue to heat gently and serve sprinkled with chopped fresh chervil.
