Cream of SSparagus Soup

SS being Schwarze Sonne rather than Schutzstaffel.

Some years ago I posted to /v/Cooking how I started to use the stringy ends of my asparagus harvest for soup stock. It's that time of year again, and I'm fortunate to be harvesting pounds.

I tried to using black decorating gel in some heavy cream, but it was quickly apparent it was going to take way too much coloring. Then I tried just squeezing the gel into the soup, but it just sank. So apologies, I used plain heavy cream and it's a white sun instead of black sun, and I'm a bad artist.

Kept it simple, asparagus stock, more fresh spears to thicken, nutmeg from a 20+ year old shaker, lemon juice, salt, pepper, cooked then used an immersion blender. Tasted damn good.

Fuck nutmeg.
Doesn’t belong in anything edible.

Fresh grate nutmeg on a microplane. I use it daily in my pourover coffee. And one will never make an authentic beschamel without the aformentioned. Use judiciously, according to taste.

I get it. Hence the 20+ year old shaker in my pantry. It does go well with asparagus dishes if nothing else. Use lightly.

You eat nutmeg you just don't know it. (Unless you are allergic, then I guess you would know or figure it out shortly)
