Hi there does anyone have gordon ramseys asparagus soup with fresh cheese croutes recipeGordon ramsey asparagus soup recipe?
If you can鈥檛 get Dublin Bay prawns, then substitute with raw tiger or king prawns. If using cooked prawns, add them at the same time as the asparagus tips.





24 raw Dublin Bay prawns


1 bunch white asparagus (about 12 spears)


500ml chicken stock


1 bay leaf


3 sprigs thyme


25g butter


1 clove garlic, crushed


50ml double cream


Freshly ground salt and pepper


Olive oil, to drizzle





1 Remove the heads of the prawns by lightly twisting as you pull. Discard or reserve for fish stock. Using sharp kitchen scissors, cut the shell along the belly. Unwrap the shell from the body and either discard or add to the heads for stock.





2 With a swivel peeler, remove the tough outer skin at the base of the asparagus spears. Hold the asparagus in two hands and snap at the natural breaking point. Discard the tough base. Now cut the tips off the spears, about 2cm from the top.





3 Bring the stock to the boil and add the bay leaf and thyme. Add the asparagus tips and cook for 1 minute. Remove with a slotted spoon and refresh in cold water, then place to one side.





4 Add the remaining asparagus to the stock and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender. Remove from the heat and discard the bay leaf and thyme. Pur茅e the asparagus, then pass through a fine sieve or chinois. Press down firmly with a spoon to extract as much as possible from the mixture. Discard the remaining pulp.





5 Melt the butter with the garlic in a small pan and saut茅 the prawns for 1 minute. Add the asparagus tips and cook for a further 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.





6 Reheat the soup with the cream and adjust the seasoning. Arrange the prawns and asparagus tips in the centre of the bowl and ladle the soup around the outside. Drizzle with a little oil and serve.
