.... that worked out.

Asparagus green pea soups

I used the tough fibrous bottom stalks from two bunches of asparagus
the day after I roasted the tips with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
I boiled the asparagus for 30 minutes, let them cool off a bit, ran
them though the blender along with the water, then simmered the
resulting puree another 30 minutes before blending the result a second
time. That way everything is edible, no sieving or straining needed
and no waste.

I also had some leftover pureed romaine lettuce and split green pea
soup that went into the pot and added chopped leeks, mint, parsley
and black pepper for a meat free, dairy free soup that was a nice
change of pace form the usual.

The combination of lettuce, peas, asparagus and leeks was very
tasty.

Cheers

Jim
