Tips
Based on a recipe I found in a magazine a while ago.
Directions
In a large saucepan, combine asparagus and one can of broth. Set pan over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, partially cover and simmer 8-10 minutes, until asparagus are tender. Remove 6 asparagus tips and set aside.
In a blender or food processor, puree asparagus mixture until smooth. Return puree to pan and add remaining can of broth. Add bay leaves and bring to a simmer. Whisk together milk and cornstarch. Add milk mixture to pan and simmer until mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
Place sour cream in a small bowl. Add a spoonful of asparagus soup and stir to heat sour cream. Add sour cream mixture to saucepan along with lemon juice, salt and pepper. Simmer 1 minute. Remove bay leaves.
Pour soup into 6 bowls and top with the 6 asparagus tips.
Garnish with ham, if desired.
