The soup is fantastic. I actually prefer it cold with a dollop of plain yoghurt and some sunflower seeds, but I am a fool for cold soup. Second, the soup base once the coconut milk is added is delicious as is and would be a great foundation for mushroom soup by adding some sautéed mushrooms and mushroom powder if you have it. Bravo and thank you!
Your Mother in Law sounds like a remarkable woman. Take care of yourselves this next little while❤
I love this soup, silky and nutty are some of my favourite soups. Here in Australia there is a season for Asparagus but you rarely find it at the Farmers Market. Small farmers just cant compete with the supermarkets who pay minimum price to farmers that grow exclusively for them and import it from wherever. You never see full asparagus like this anymore, only ever the "baby" kind, not a woody end to be seen or to be concerned about, just snap it and put it in your stir fry before it develops any real flavour.
What we can get occasionally at the Farmer Market is Jerusalem artichokes. No competition for those from the supermarkets as they are just too difficult. So when they arrive (not long now in our neck of the woods) I will buy the lot and make a beautiful silky soup like the one you describe here. No need to add nuts as JA are nutty in their own right.
So sorry for your loss. Your asparagus soup recipe sounds like a great idea. I can never bring myself to turn delicious English asparagus into soup, it always feels so wrong!
So sorry to hear your sad news. Sincere condolences. You are right about soup. I want to believe it is Spring but it is d..n cold and soup will be just right. This is such a different recipe from the one I have been using so I’m intrigued to try it.
My sincere condolences on the loss of your lovely and pragmatic mother-in-law. So kind of her not to burden the family with difficult administrative tasks at a time of grieving. Another good memory to add to her legacy.
