Cream of Asparagus and Mint

Ingredients

1 14 oz can chicken broth
2 tbs butter
1 tbs flour
1 1/2 lb asparagus chopped in 1” pieces
6 tbs milk
6 mint leaves chopped
2 tbs heavy cream
Salt and white pepper to taste

In a medium sauce pan melt the butter at medium heat and sauté the asparagus for about 5 minutes. Add the flour and stir. Slowly add the chicken broth and stir vigorously to avoid lumps. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes stirring occasionally to avoid scorching; the soup will thicken then add the milk and the mint leaves.

Remove the soup and blend it. Strain it and add heavy cream. Season to taste and serve immediately.
