Cream Soup of Green Asparagus with Sugar Snap Peas and Mint

Look forward to this fine asparagus recipe:

Remove the peel from the bottom end of the asparagus spears only, chop the tips and set aside. Cut the spears into pieces and gently sauté in the hot butter with the split peas and the diced shallot. Season with salt, sugar and nutmeg, add the chicken stock and simmer for about 10 minutes at low temperature.

In the meantime, cut off the ends of the sugar snap peas and blanch them together with the small peas and the asparagus tips in boiling salted water for a few minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain. Melt the salted butter in a sauté pan and toss the vegetables briefly.

Finely blend the asparagus soup with the nut butter in a hand mixer and strain through a sieve. Bring to the boil again, then loosely stir in the whipping cream.

Divide the vegetables evenly among warmed plates, pour the soup over them and serve sprinkled with chervil and mint.

E.W.: For the nut butter, heat fresh butter until it is golden brown. Browning gives it a delicate nutty flavor. Before further use, however, the butter must be poured through a sieve, as the foam that forms during roasting is unsightly and slightly bitter. This nut butter gives many dishes the final touch.
