So for the first time ever, I made asparagus soup.
While the soup in itself came out alright, the white asparagus that are popular in my country/area require to be peeled.
I did peel them, but clearly not thick enough. The outside of the asparagus still felt hard and barky.
How does one find out that an asparagus has been peeled enough so you'll only have soft deliciousness?
You didn't get any sauce for that crazy bread ?

Hrm.
I think of white asparagus in a cold marinated salad kind of application mostly. It's so delicately flavored, ya know? I know people do soup with it, but I'd have my cold :)
I don't peel asparagus, I bend it, and where it naturally breaks, that's where it had become too woody. Maybe since you're chopping it all up anyway, you could snap them like that, and then peel the hell out of the broken off bottom? If you want to rescue this already made batch, you could probably puree the whole thing.
