Variations
The soup can be thickened by blitzing with some blanched baby spinach, if required. You can also use potatoes, peas or leeks to thicken the soup, but remember to keep asparagus as the main flavour. Daniel Clifford uses cream and chicken stock as the liquid in his Crispy hen's egg and asparagus soup recipe.
