Answers:
Cream of Fresh Asparagus Soup

INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 pounds fresh asparagus
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
6 tablespoons butter
1 pinch salt
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups water
4 cups hot milk
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
2 tablespoons soy sauce

DIRECTIONS:
Break off and discard tough asparagus bottoms. Break off tips; set aside. Coarsely chop stalks.

Cook in skillet over medium heat with onion in butter, salting lightly, for 8 to 10 minutes.

When onions are clear, sprinkle with flour. Continue to stir over lowest possible heat 5 to 8 minutes.

Slowly add water or stock, stirring constantly. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened. Cool slightly.

In blender, puree sauce bit-by-bit with milk until thoroughly smooth.

Return puree to 3-quart pan, preferably a double boiler. Add dill, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, and tamari. Heat gently but don't boil.

As soup heats, cook asparagus tips in boiling water until tender, but still very green, about 2 minutes; drain. Add whole pieces to soup.

Lightly rub some butter or spray butter onto the asparagus and sprinkle some garlic salt seasoning and some shredded parmesean cheese. And grill or broil on one side for about 5 minutes and then turn asparagus and repeat the same process again. Its very delicious like that.
After washing, break off the thick, woody end.(They will snap near to where the green and whitish part meets) Then dry, rub with olive oil, place in roasting pan with a little Pam sprayed on the bottom. Sprinkle with some garlic powder and roast at 425 degrees for 10 minutes.Also good cooked on the grill after coating with olive oil and sprinkling with garlic powder.
busta has got it down--steam for 3-5 minutes with a little but of butter and either garlic(fresh) or salt--yummy--I don't like mine cooked very long as it changes the texture
Oven roasted in good quality extra virgin olive oil with just a touch of salt. It comes out so sweet and good you don't need to put anything else on it at all.
Here is one way that we have served at many dinners and have never had any leftovers
First take the tough ends off.If you hold an end in each hand and bend it will break at the tender area next to the end of the hard stem. Rinse it off. Blanch it.
Then roll with strips of prosciutto and saute.
Simple to make impressive to eat and looks impressive on a serving platter
wash and cut off hard ends
then place in a pot of water. add 2 chicken bouillon cubes and 1 tsp of cavendars greek seasoning. bring the asparagus to a boil for 2 minutes, then remove to the plates. add hollandaise sauce, or parmesan cheese. if you are not ready to serve the asparagus then shock the asparagus in cold water (prevents continued cooking). place in the frig unwrapped. when you are ready to eat put them on individual plates and microwave for 20 to 25 seconds. if you use hollandaise or parmesan cheese then add your preference and microwave for 15 to 25 seconds.
you could also steam asparagus.
