Cream of Asparagus Soup

== Description ==
Purchased from the McDonald Estate in Wylie, Texas in 1990. Dated 1944. Notation on card indicates this is a family favorite Sunday dinner opener. I made this and thought it was “good”, not “great” but I’m not big on asparagus so might not be the best person to judge it. My sister and sister-in-laws love it.
== Ingredients ==
* 1 pound fresh asparagus
* 3 cups chicken broth
* 2 tablespoons flour
* 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
* 2 egg yolks
* ½ cup heavy cream
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
* 1 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
== Directions ==
# Cut asparagus in small pieces.
# Put in heavy pot and cover with cold water.
# Bring water to a boil and simmer for fifteen minutes.
# Add chicken broth.
# Mix flour with butter until smooth.
# Add to soup.
# Bring to a boil.
# Pour mixture into a blender and mix until smooth.
# Return soup to pot.
# Mix egg yolks with the cream and add to the soup.
