Perlman play's Rachmaninoff 's vocalise

asparagus soup

you need a load of asparagus, at least 1 kg. peel it. boil the peelings in half  selfmade chicken broth (altern.: use veg. soup stock cubes in water) and in (at least) half good white wine.  add a lot of fresh nutmeg, 2-3 slices of a lemon, cane sugar about 2-3 spoons, black pepper, a pinch of salt. boil for 15 minutes. not longer. (will get bitter!)
remove the peelings and the lemon slices, press the juice out through a sieve.
now add more nutmeg and more nutmeg, add salt to taste, a bit more good wine.
use some starch flower, stir with cold water and fresh nutmeg, add to the soup, add a real good chunk of butter, boil and stir again for a moment.
wait for a bit, now the soup should not boil anymore.
then whisk 2-3 egg yolks in.
that's about it.
good appetite.
