Fresh asparagus..always cut the first inch off the root and plunge into cold fresh water like you would do with cut flowers, this prevents the heads drying out

Asparagus Chowder cooking...make a base stock from the first 2 inches of the stems, boil for 30 mins then use this as the stock for the soup, cook the middle 2 inches with the potatoes, celery and sweetcorn, and 10 mins before serving add the tips, and coconut cream.
