Asparagus Soup with a Poached Egg

So a friend of my bosses gave me a good idea that I should put recipes up on my blog because she tried my soup and loved it so I decided to share! I must say hands down best soup I have EVER cooked it's so freaking good! Here is the recipe and please comment if you cook it or what you think your feed back is appreciated! Happy almost May!!

Asparagus soup with a poached egg and white truffle oil!

For the soup:

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 cups milk
3/4 pound fresh asparagus
boiling water
salt and pepper -- to taste
Handful of Paramesan cheese too

Preparation:

Make the white sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Blend in flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Stir until smooth. Add milk; cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and begins to bubble.
Set aside.
Wash asparagus and cut in 1/2-inch pieces. Cook asparagus in a small amount of boiling water until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain, reserving the cooking liquid. Set aside a few of the asparagus tips or pieces aside for garnish, if desired. Mash or blend remaining asparagus; set aside. Add enough boiling water to cooking liquid to make 1 cup; add white sauce and pureed asparagus. Heat thoroughly; season to taste with salt and pepper. Add whole asparagus pieces and Parmesan cheese! Then follow my next step to take this soup beyond!

1. Poach an egg just plain and simple
2. Dish the soup out in a pretty bowl
3. Put the poached egg in the middle of the soup
4. Toast a thin slice of bread and place in bowl
5. Drizzle soup with white truffle oil
6. Sprinkle all with more parmesan and cracked black pepper!

To die for! Love yall xo
