Asparagus soup

I had never bought or tried asparagus till date . Recently when I saw some delicious looking recipes made with asparagus and thought of trying them. And then , when I went to the wet market, I saw these slender, gorgeous looking asparagus and got them immediately. It was lying in my refrigerator for sometime, when finally I decided to make a soup. I took idea for the soup from these two lovely blogs and made it by making just a few minor changes.

Ingredients-
Asparagus spears- a bunch - woody edge cut and the other edge trimmed
Potato- 1 cut into pieces
Garlic- 2 cloves chopped
Onion- 1 cut into pieces
Flour- 1 tbspn
Cream- 1tbspn
Vegetable stock- 2-3 teacups
Ground nutmeg- 1tsp
Salt- to taste
pepper- acc to your taste.
olive oil- 1tsp

Method
Heat little oil in a pan. Add the garlic and onion and saute for sometime. Then add the potatoes and asparagus. Next add the flour, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Cook till potatoes and asparagus gets tender. Add the vegetable stock and cook for some more time.
Now blend this mixture to a smooth liquid. Serve hot with a little cream on the top.
