Cream of asparagus soup

Chef Ryan Muir,
Soup Pierre

A velvety mouthfeel of creamy mashed potato complemented by a buttery silkiness. The fresh asparagus hints of spring while lingering dill accents complete this smooth jazz concert. The potato in this recipe gives a wonderfully unique texture to a soup that is usually heavily cream-based.
