- .5 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3/4 pound asparagus spears stalks chopped, woody ends discarded, tips reserved
- 3 shallots finely sliced
- 2 garlic cloves crushed
- 2 large spinach handfuls
- 2.5 cups organic vegetable stock or fresh if possible
- salt and pepper
- olive oil for drizzling
Heat the oil in a large saucepan on medium heat. Saute the asparagus tips for 2 minutes to soften. Remove and set aside.
Add the shallots, asparagus stalks and garlic, and cook for 5-10 mins until softened but still bright. Stir through the spinach, pour over the stock, bring to the boil, then blitz with a hand blender.
Season generously with salt and pepper and add hot water to loosen if needed. Ladle into bowls and scatter the asparagus tips over each. Drizzle with olive oil.
