> Simmer them 

> Drain them, keeping the broth and discarding the ends

The resulting broth ramps up the fresh taste of this wonderful spring veggie.

Green vs White Asparagus

Most recipes using asparagus in Canada and the US assume you are using green asparagus. On the contrary, in Germany, for example, when asparagus is talked about, white asparagus is assumed. 

So, when you're looking for asparagus recipes, you'll need to be aware of which country the recipe comes from.

Oma says,

If I happen to be able to buy white asparagus, I use the same asparagus soup recipe as above, except the asparagus needs to be peeled first. 

Then, I take the peelings, together with the tough ends, and cook them. Then, I follow with the rest of the recipe.

I love it when I get to go back to Germany in the springtime. The markets overflow with white asparagus. Even the restaurants have special asparagus menus.
