Asparagus soup (Spargel)

White asparagus, or spargel, is the most popular variety in Germany and this soup is a must during the spargel season, which begins in mid-May. We visited an asparagus grower, picked some stems and cooked them right away in this lovely delicate soup. It can also be made with green asparagus if you can’t find the white kind.
