Cream Of Asparagus Soup With Sorrel

• 3 cups asparagus, chopped into 1" pieces
• 4 cups rich, homemade chicken stock
• 2 cups fresh sorrel leaves
• 1/2 cup minced chives
• 1/2 cup heavy cream

1. Simmer the asparagus in the chicken stock for 10 minutes, or until tender.
2. Ladle the stock and asparagus into the blender (careful, it's hot) and puree. Strain for smooth-like-velvet texture, or don't bother, for a more rustic texture.
3. Slice the sorrel leaves into a chiffonade and mince the chives.
4. Reheat the soup to a lazy simmer, stir in the sorrel and chives, then add the cream and bring the soup just short of a boil.
5. Serve in small bowls with a few chives scattered over the top.
6. Cream makes this soup extra rich and special. It's also nice just topped with a little dollop of Greek yogurt, for a lower calorie alternative.
