Asperagus Soup (by sarah)
Babara (Al's aunt) gave us some of her asperagus which grows in abundence in the garden - I was about enough to serve steamed as a starter for one and a half people so i decided to soup it!
I boiled it up then poured it and and the boiling water into the blender, adding a veggi stock cube and a paint of milk (goats milk becuase thats what I had in the fridge at the time). I then cheated and use dried chopped garlic - about a tea spoon fall and crushed fennel seeeds, again about 1 teaspoon fall to flavour it with. It was however a thin insubstantial soup so out came the corn flour and a a rapid thickening of the soup.
It was lovely and filling and as always I had accidently made enough for four people - oh well Jean loves it to which is good as shes getting it again tomorrow!
