Asparagus Soup

Ingredients

1 oz. Olive Oil
1 oz. Coconut Oil
3 onions diced
1 cup diced celery
Small piece of ginger
1 lime leaf
8 cups of chicken stock (vegans can use a vegetable stock)
2 bundles of asparagus ends
¼ cup rice

Directions

Add all ingredients to the pot with the oils and sweat.
Once this is done add the stock
Bring to a boil and simmer until the asparagus stocks are soft
Let it cool down and process through the blender and strain with a fine strainer
Re-warm, do a final season with salt and pepper if desired and serve. For a garnish you could add frozen lime zest, a dollop of sour cream or yogurt.

Note:

Quite often when we make this soup we have just had the asparagus tips with a meal, we will reserve the water they were boiled in and use it for part of the stock as well to increase the asparagus flavour of the soup.
