ASPARAGUS SOUP WITH CRAB MEAT

Steps:

• Trim asparagus by snapping off the woody ends and cut spears into 1-inch pieces.

• Add stock and bring to a boil over high heat, skimming off any foam from surface. Lower heat and simmer over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes until asparagus is tender, yet crisp. Reserve 12 to 16 asparagus tips for garnish. Season soup to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper. Cover and continue simmering for 15 to 20 minutes until asparagus is very tender.
• Puree the soup in batches in a blender or food processor or pass the mixture through the fine blade of a food mill back into the saucepan.

Blend the cornstarch with the 2 tablespoons cold stock or water and whisk into the boiling soup to thicken. Stir in the cream and adjust the seasoning.
