-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 pounds asparagus

2 large potatoes

2 tablespoons dill

1/4 cup unbleached flour

1 cup rice milk

1 salt to taste

 

Cut potatoes into small pieces. In an approximately 3 qt.

saucepan, boil potatoes until extremely tender. While

this is happening, wash asparagus. Remove woody ends.

Cut into 1 " sections, setting aside tips. Add non-tip

sections to potato pot and cook until asparagus has

gone beyond bright green to olive green (but not brown).

Add dill. Asparagus should be soft enough to mash along

with potatoes, in the cooking water. Don't throw out any

of the cooking water. Lightly brown flour in a small

saucepan and allow to cool somewhat before adding rice

milk. Add liquid gradually to make a smooth pseudo-roux

and add the roux to the soup. Add the asparagus tips and

continue cooking the soup just until they are tender and

bright green. Salt to taste.
