CHILLED ASPARAGUS SOUP WITH GOAT CHEESE
Steps:
- Coat a large saucepan with olive oil. Add the onion, celery and garlic and bring to a medium heat. Season with salt and sweat until the vegetables are very soft and aromatic, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Remove the tips from the asparagus and reserve. Cut the stalks of the asparagus into 1-inch lengths and add them to the pot. Sweat for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the potatoes and the stock. Taste for seasoning and add salt, if needed (it will). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
- On a separate burner, bring a small pot of well salted water to a boil over high heat. Have a small bowl of well salted ice water on standby. Cook the asparagus tips in the boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove them from the boiling water and plunge them immediately into the ice water. When the tips are cool, remove them from the water, pat dry and reserve.
- In a blender or with an immersion blender, puree the asparagus stock mixture. Strain through a mesh strainer, if desired. Taste and adjust the seasonings, if needed. Chill.
- Garnish with the reserved asparagus tips and crumbled goat cheese. Springtime delicious!

ASPARAGUS-POTATO HASH WITH GOAT CHEESE AND EGGS
This colorful one-pan breakfast can be easily adapted to use up whatever vegetables you have in the crisper: Use shallots or yellow onion instead of leeks, or substitute green beans, snap peas or even broccoli for the asparagus. Just make sure everything is diced into 1/2-inch pieces so the vegetables cook evenly and quickly. Serve as part of an elegant brunch spread, with toast for a hearty (and vegetarian!) weekend breakfast, or eat it straight from the skillet with a glass of white wine as a quick, clean-out-the-fridge dinner.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees. In a large (12-inch) ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high. Add the potatoes, spreading them out into an even layer, and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally and scraping the bottom of the pan, until potatoes are nicely browned, 7 to 9 minutes.
- Lower the heat to medium, add the fennel and leek, and cook, tossing occasionally, until leeks are translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. If the skillet looks dry at any point, add a splash of olive oil.
- Add the asparagus, along with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few more grinds of black pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the asparagus, fennel and potatoes are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Off the heat, add the lemon juice and toss, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Use a spoon to create 4 small hollows in the hash. Carefully crack an egg into each, season the eggs with salt and pepper and bake for 5 to 7 minutes, until the egg whites are just set. (Don't overcook.)
- Sprinkle with goat cheese, herbs, fennel fronds and lemon zest, if using. Sprinkle with additional lemon juice, if desired, and a pinch of salt, and serve hot. (A spatula works best for serving.)

Tips:
- Use fresh asparagus. Fresh asparagus has a sweeter, more tender flavor than asparagus that has been stored for a long time.
- Trim the asparagus properly. Cut off the woody ends of the asparagus spears. You can also peel the asparagus spears if they are thick.
- Don't overcook the asparagus. Asparagus should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Overcooked asparagus is mushy and flavorless.
- Use a good quality broth. The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even fish broth.
- Add some fresh herbs. Fresh herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, or basil, can add a lot of flavor to asparagus soup.
- Serve the soup with a dollop of herbed goat cheese. Herbed goat cheese is a delicious and easy way to add extra flavor and richness to asparagus soup.
Conclusion:
Asparagus soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a good way to use up leftover asparagus. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious asparagus soup that your family and friends will love.
