This should have been an asparagus soup to use up a bundle of white asparagus I bought some time ago and haven't been able to finish since. I don't really like white asparagus but it was all that was available so I thought I'd give it another try. It wasn't worth the effort and when I'd finally decided to heavily process the rest in a attempt to get some enjoyment out of it, it had passed its best.
So this is a potato soup, and the none the worse for that, flavoured with onions and bay leaves, blitzed smooth and creamy and decorated with the best of the asparagus tips that I could salvage.
It's served with garlic bread and for pudding, baked apples stuffed with dates.
