Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 shallots (finely minced)
- 2 tablespoons garlic (minced)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 4 cups vegetable stock

- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup 2% milk
- 1 tablespoon flour

Instructions
- Prepare the asparagus, by bending one stalk in half, it will break in two. Keep the end that has the flower tip, throw the other half away. It is inedible. Do this with all the stalks of asparagus.
- In a fry pan, melt the butter and saute shallots and garlic. Saute for about a minute, add the garlic salt and a little pepper. Then add the asparagus tips. Saute them, stirring constantly for about 2-3 minutes. Then remove from the heat.
- Remove about 10 tips and set them aside. In a crock pot, put in the vegetable broth and place on low. Add the potatoes and the asparagus saute mixture. Finally add the basil, let cook on low for about 4 hours.
- After 4 hours check the asparagus and potatoes, if they are soft, Strain out all the vegetables and basil, and put them into a blender. add a small amount the broth, and puree the mixture. Add it back to the crock pot.
- The 10 tips you reserved, finely slice them. Add them, the scallions, and the chives to the soup.
- Add the milk and cream and give a nice stir, cover and let cook another hour.
- After an hour, mix the butter and flour together. melt it into soup. This will help thicken the soup. If you need to use more of the melted butter mixture you can, let get to a thickness you like. Cover and let cook 1/2 hour more.
- Adjust the seasoning with a little pepper, ladle out into some bowls and ENJOY!
