EASY CREAMY CRAB AND ASPARAGUS SOUP
Creamy soup with crab, potatoes, and asparagus. I made this on a whim one Sunday when crabmeat was on sale at the store. It comes together quickly and is very tasty! You could easily replace the asparagus with another vegetable with equally good results.

ASPARAGUS SOUP WITH CRAB MEAT
This is a lovely spring soup with a beautiful color and sheen and a perfectly balanced flavor. Neither the asparagus nor the crab meat overpower each other. Note that the authors of the "Silver Palate Cookbook" say the best way to puree asparagus is with a food mill which gets out all the fibrous tissue. Nevertheless, a blender or food processor will work if you strain the soup afterward. This is a luxurious menu choice for a luncheon or a dinner appetizer. Consider it for Easter, too. The recipe was originally posted on the TOH website both by Cathy and by Janie. It was taken from a cookbook called "The Soup Bible."

Steps:
- Trim asparagus by snapping off the woody ends and cut spears into 1-inch pieces.
- Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan. Add asparagus and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently until bright green. You may add chopped onion and garlic to the saucepan with the asparagus if you wish the additional flavor.
- 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. You may want to strain the soup at this point; you want the soup to be satiny. Return the soup to a boil over medium-high heat. 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. Add the optional butter if you wish; this is what puts the lovely sheen on the soup.
- To serve: ladle the soup into heated bowls and top each with a spoonful of the crab meat and a few of the reserved asparagus tips.

- Reduce heat, crush shells with a meat mallet or wooden spoon as much as possible.

This is such an easy soup, yet it is elegant enough for special occasions. To effectively cut corn kernels off the ear, stand the cob up vertically with the stem end on the cutting boards. Slice down the length of the cob with a knife.

Steps:
- Bring stock and bay leaves to a boil in a large pot. Cook asparagus until tender and add to stock pot. Melt butter in a separate saucepan and gently saute onions, celery, and carrots (mirepoix) until tender, then gradually add flour (with a non-reactive utensil such as a wooden spoon), and cook until similar to a roux. Transfer to the pot of stock to thicken soup. Let simmer for 45 minutes. Remove bay leaves from soup. *Blend to a puree with an immersion blender, or in batches in a blender or food processor. Add cream to the soup, and keep warm over low heat.
- For the crab "souffle," mix crab, mayonnaise, thyme, salt and pepper, and squeeze of fresh lemon juice, trying to avoid breaking up the lumps of crabmeat. Place a scoop of the crabmeat in the center of soup bowl and ladle the asparagus soup around. Garnish with a lemon wedge.
- *When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.
