Triple white asparagus soup

Asparagus season is here, so it is a question about enjoying as many fresh asparagus as possible (other suggestion is triple asparagus risotto & asparagus soup). I used this recipe on triple asparagus soup as starting point.
The wording triple white asparagus refers to the use of canned white asparagus and fresh white asparagus in two different ways. The majority of the fresh white asparagus was boiled in the soup. And one of the fresh white asparagus was peeled and when peeled with a potato peeler into thin slices. These thin asparagus slices were, wen added into cold water until serving the soup. These thin asparagus slices gives a great crispy texture, while eating the soup.

As usual I have used canned white asparagus and their liquid in order to increase the taste of asparagus.

Tripe white asparagus soup: 3-4 servings

• 500 g white asparagus - to have the end broken off, to be peeled and chopped into 2 cm pieces do not peel the head of the white asparagus.
• 1 of the white peeled asparagus is peeled with a potato peeler into thin slices. These thin asparagus slices were, wen added into cold water until serving the soup.
