Soup

Garnishing
- Make a few paper thin raw asparagus shavings using the mandoline. Keep them in cold water. Meanwhile, chop cooked asparagus.

- Give a quick sautée to the chopped asparagus with some fat. Season with salt and pepper; keep warm.

Plating
- Spoon out some sautéed asparagus and feta cubes in each warm serving bowl.

- Right before serving, give the hot soup an emulsion, and pour in serving bowls. Top the soup with asparagus shavings, lemon zest and some crushed pistachios.

Storage
- Asparagus soup can be stored for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. It can also be frozen. In this case, and upon the soup is thawed a day prior to serve, reheat it and blend.
