18TH APRIL


We read in the FT Weekend Magazine that this week is the start of the British asparagus season; with it only lasting eight weeks we thought we'd best indulge ourselves.

This called for a flick through our new recipe book, 365 good reasons to sit down and eatand as luck would have it 18th April had been designated to Cream of Asparagus Soup. A quick dash to the supermarket and we were ready to make our soup.

The recipe is really simple to follow and we were even more impressed when our bowl looked very similar to the image in the book.


As soups go this was tasty but we felt that what it really needed was fleshing out - left over meat, a few chunks of goats cheese or garlic prawns - so that there is a depth of texture and also more than just the single flavour of asparagus.


We would suggest you use this recipe as a base to your soup to which you can add endless possibilities. Go wild! (and please do share any success stories)
