We spent the weekend just like Chester here...
LAZY LAZY LAZY! It was nice to not have any plans after a crazy week and half of traveling. I was more than content to sit on my couch while I watched my Rebels WIN the Compass Bowl!! HOTTY TODDY. I did do 3 productive things this weekend, however.
1. Took down the Christmas decorations.
 |
| the apt feels so bare now without them |
2. Went to the Hub for breakfast pizza.
 |
| eggs, bacon, Parmesan, and mozzarella. DELICIOUS |
3. Made asparagus soup!
This soup is by far one of my favorites. Its from Emeril Lagasse-
recipe here. I do make one healthy change!
- 3 pounds fresh asparagus, rinsed
- 8 cups chicken stock
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup minced shallots
- 1 cup minced leeks, whites only, well rinsed
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 1/2 cup fat free evaporated milk** (healthy change)
 |
| bring stock to a boil- add asparagus stalks and simmer 30 minutes- remove stalks and reserve stock |
 |
| remove stems, cut asparagus in half. |
 |
| melt butter, saute shallots and leeks 2 minutes, add garlic 1 minute, add asparagus 3 minutes |
 |
| add reserved stock and let simmer for 20 minutes |
 |
| use an immersion blender (or regular blender) to puree - then add evaporated milk and stir |
 |
DELICIOUS asparagus soup!

Hope everyone has a fabulous week! xo.
