Ingredients:





     2 lb Asparagus


     2 lg Potatoes


     2 tb Dill


   1/4 c  Unbleached flour


     1 c  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. Yum.
