Curried Cream Of Asparagus Soup With Crab


I created this for the ready set cook contest in 2003. Morsels of mock crab in a spicy creamy asparagus soup. Microwaving the vegetables is a time and nutrient saver, but you could also boil or steam them.

Steps


Cook asparagus , onion , and potato in a round covered casserole dish , with the chicken broth , in the microwave on high for 10 minutes.
When vegetables are tender , remove half of the potatoes and set them aside.
Put the vegetables in a blender and puree until smooth.
Alternately , put them in a pot and use a hand blender.
Put the puree in a pot on medium heat and whisk in 1 t flour.
Stir until smooth and soup begins to boil.
Reduce heat to medium-low and add the remaining potatoes to the pot.
Stir in the butter , milk , garlic , curry , cayenne , black pepper , salt and worcestershire , and simmer for 10 minutes.
Add the crab and simmer for 5 minutes.
