Almost-Raw Asparagus Soup

By Melissa D'Arabian

When asparagus is completely raw, I find it tastes quite grassy. This simple technique maintains the asparagus’s freshness while giving it a warm, roasted flavor. The asparagus roasts in the oven just long enough to become a bit sweet, and is then puréed until smooth.
