Instructions to make Broccoli & Asparagus Soup:

Remove the asparagus, chop it up into smaller pieces and add it in with the broccoli. Set aside the onions for the time being.
3. Boil the broccoli until the stalks are nice and soft and the water has reduced down by about half. Season well with salt and a pinch of white pepper to taste.
4. Add the cooked onions in with the broccoli and asparagus. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes.
