We seldom cook white asparagus nowadays which I feel is a pity because it is so delicious, far more subtle than the green asparagus. I think that many of us are a bit afraid because it is something we haven't done before, so one opts for the easy solution, the green asparagus

Ingredients

• 500 G (17.5 oz) White asparagus
• 100 G (3 oz) butter
• 100 Ml (3floz) white wine
• salt pepper
• 1000 Ml (1 quart) cream
• 1000 Ml (1 quart) Water
• 20 G (0.8 oz) Corn Starch

Preparation

• Peel the white asparagus carefully and cut the end off
  Bring water, white wine, butter, salt and pepper to the boil
  Add the asparagus and simmer till al dente
• Take the asparagus out
  Now simmer the peelings for about 10 minutes
  Strain the soup
• Add the cream, boil up and thicken with corn starch
  Season to taste
