RECIPE

 

 
22. Soup of Asparagus Tips (Potage aux Pointes d'Asperges).

  Cut a bundle of small green asparagus (sprew) as for an
entremet, blanch them of a fine green ; cool, and strain
them off, and then lay them out on a napkin ; put them into
the tureen with some fried crusts, dried in the hot-closet, a,
 little sugar, and the broth as usual. The " Potage aux
Pointes de grosses Asperges" (with the tips of large asparagus) 
is made in the same manner, using the points only,
an inch long, of a bundle of large asparagus, and adding some
chervil, blanched, and a little pepper.
