Ez a selymes spárgakrémleves a tavasz igazi hírnöke. A fehér spárga lágy krémessége és a zöld spárga frissessége tökéletes harmóniát alkot ebben az elegáns, mégis egyszerűen elkészíthető fogásban. A tejszín és a vaj selymes textúrát ad neki, a pirított spárgafejek pedig látványos és ízletes befejezést kölcsönöznek a levesnek.

Preparation method

In a high-sided pot, bring 1.5 litres of water to a boil with the sugar and one teaspoon of salt.

Place the asparagus into the boiling water and cook for 5-10 minutes until just tender (al dente). Note: green asparagus cooks faster! After cooking, immediately place the green asparagus into ice water to preserve its vibrant colour, then cut into pieces about 4 cm long.

Cut off the tips of the cooked white asparagus and set them aside for serving. Cut the stalks into smaller pieces.

Chef's tip

Always immerse the cooked green asparagus in ice water so it stops cooking and retains its crispness and beautiful colour.

The soup can also be served with toasted bread cubes – for this, cut up a day-old bun or crescent roll and toast it in a little butter until golden brown.
