Ingredients
- 2 tbsp butter

Instructions

- Add the milk and stock, increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and let it cook for 5 minutes until everything is soft.
- In this time boil the asparagus tips until cooked through in water, set aside.
- Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth.

Notes
- Use any stock you have, even cube diluted in water will work here.
- You don’t have to save the asparagus tips for a garnish, you could use it in the soup directly however I think it adds a good touch and makes it soup look fancy.
- You can leave the cream out completely to keep this soup lighter and more healthy for you.
- If you don’t have access to large asparagus you can use the thinner once but make sure to increase the quantity as 4 of the thin stalks will not suffice.
