Directions
- Evenly chop asparagus, spring onions, garlic, ginger and coriander stems.
- Reserving the asparagus tops, gently fry the rest in a little olive oil to soften, then add hot stock and simmer 7 minutes until asparagus is tender. Add the asparagus tops and a handful of coriander leaves and cover the pot to cool a little.
- Blitz until smooth, adding a little cream as you go (pass through a sieve if you like a super smooth soup). Chill and take to picnic in a thermos or large jar.
