Steps:
- Bring stock and bay leaves to a boil in a large pot. Cook asparagus until tender and add to stock pot. Melt butter in a separate saucepan and gently saute onions, celery, and carrots (mirepoix) until tender, then gradually add flour (with a non-reactive utensil such as a wooden spoon), and cook until similar to a roux. Transfer to the pot of stock to thicken soup. Let simmer for 45 minutes. Remove bay leaves from soup. *Blend to a puree with an immersion blender, or in batches in a blender or food processor. Add cream to the soup, and keep warm over low heat.
- For the crab "souffle," mix crab, mayonnaise, thyme, salt and pepper, and squeeze of fresh lemon juice, trying to avoid breaking up the lumps of crabmeat. Place a scoop of the crabmeat in the center of soup bowl and ladle the asparagus soup around. Garnish with a lemon wedge.
- *When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.

Steps:
- 1 Put a large pot of salted water on the oven and bring to a boil. 2 Heat a large sauce pot over medium-low heat. Add olive oil and butter, then stir to combine. 3 Add sliced garlic, Fresno and scallion bottoms (whites) and stir together to combine; reduce heat to low. 4 Add salt and continue cooking until garlic and scallions become translucent and everything becomes soft. Don't allow the garlic to take color. 5 Add 1 cup of clam juice to the pan and bring to a boil; remove from heat. The clam juice should not reduce or you'll end up with salty pasta. 6 At this point, start cooking pasta until it's al dente, roughly 7-8 minutes. Drain very well. Add to sauce. Reserve pasta water. 7 Return pan back to low heat and add crab meat and lightly toss, so crab meat begins to warm through. Begin to stir well so sauce begins adhering to the pasta. If pasta looks dry, add some of the remaining clam juice. 8 Finish pasta with fresh lemon juice, half the chopped mint and scallions tops (greens) and stir to combine. 9 Transfer pasta to a large serving bowl. Top with some of the remaining mint, scallion tops and toasted breadcrumbs.
