Steps:
- Melt butter in a soup pot over medium heat. Add minced onion and salt; cook and stir until onion is soft and golden, about 10 minutes.
- Pour chicken broth and water into pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and simmer 15 minutes.
- Place asparagus pieces in simmering broth. Cook, stirring occasionally until asparagus is just tender and still bright green, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Use an immersion blender to blend soup until smooth, about 3 minutes.
- For a finer texture, strain soup through mesh strainer. Return strained soup to pot and place on stove.
- Turn heat to low. Season with cayenne pepper, black pepper, and nutmeg. Adjust salt to taste. Whisk 1/2 cup cream into soup.
- Place 1/4 cup cream, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and lemon zest in a small bowl. Whisk until frothy and slightly thickened, about 1 minute.
- Ladle soup into bowls. Drizzle a spoonful of Parmigiano-Reggiano-lemon cream on top of each serving and swirl to form a random design.
- Sprinkle with a pinch of lemon zest and cayenne pepper, if desired.

CHEF JOHN'S ASPARAGUS SOUFFLE
Contrary to popular belief, souffles are not very difficult, as long as you respect the laws of physics. I hope you give this recipe a try, and also experiment with other vegetables. Broccoli, artichokes, leeks, spinach, or any other edible plant you can puree should work with the same basic procedure.

Steps:
- Cook asparagus in a saucepan of boiling water until bright green but still crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer asparagus to ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour and stir until mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, about 2 minutes.
- Whisk milk into butter-flour mixture; bring to a simmer and cook until thick, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and cayenne pepper.
- Place milk mixture, garlic, and asparagus in a blender and puree until smooth.
- Pour asparagus mixture into a large bowl; stir in egg yolks and Cheddar cheese.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C)
- Generously butter 4 (6-ounce) ramekins
- Beat egg whites in a large glass or metal mixing bowl until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak
- Stir half of egg whites into asparagus cheese mixture until just combined. Gently fold remaining egg whites into mixture.
- Fill prepared ramekins about 3/4 full and place on a baking sheet; bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes

ASPARAGUS AND CHEESE SOUFFLE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, squash, and asparagus and cook, stirring, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the pepper strips and scallions. Transfer to a bowl and let cool.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in the cheeses and the cooled vegetables.
- Spray the loaf pan with vegetable oil spray, line the bottom with a piece of parchment paper, and spray again.
- Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pan, and top with another piece of vegetable oil sprayed parchment paper. Place the pan in a larger baking dish and place on the center oven rack. Pour enough hot water into the baking dish to reach halfway up the loaf pan. Bake until the center is firm and a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 10 minutes.
- Remove the souffle from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Run a butter knife around the edges of the pan to release the souffle. Turn the souffle out onto a cutting board and remove the parchment paper. Cut the souffle into 8 slices and serve hot or at room temperature.

CREAMY ASPARAGUS "SOUFFLE"
An elegant but simple way to serve asparagus, this timbale is like a sturdy souffle that holds its "breath". And you can use up less-than-perfect spears; use a vegetable peeler to peel the tougher stalks so they will be tender. A stick blender does a nice job pureeing the mixture.
