ASPARAGUS SOUP W/LEMON CREME FRAICHE
This is a great first-course for a dinner party. It is very rich. I served it at a luncheon for some friends with a Waldorf Salad and some sourdough bread.

Steps:
- 1. Melt butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots; saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add asparagus and coriander; stir 1 minute. Add vegetable broth; simmer until asparagus is tender (may take up to 30 minutes). Cool slightly.
- 2. Mix in the whipping cream and then cornstarch mixture and stir until thickened. (If it doesn't thicken within a few minutes, add a little more cornstarch and water mixture and if it is too thick, add a little water to thin it out.)
- 3. If your not using the Creme Fraiche, stir sour cream, lemon juice and lemon peel in a small bowl. Divide soup among bowls. Top with a dollop of Creme Fraiche or your sour cream mixture and serve.
- 4. NOTE: This is great served with herb croutons.

[email protected]This soup was a bit too tangy for my taste, but I think that's because I used too much lemon juice. I would recommend using less lemon juice if you don't like your soup too sour.
