Ingredients:

Serving

1 small onion, coarsely chopped
1 tsp finely chopped garlic
2 1/2 tbsp canola oil
2 lbs asparagus, cut into 1/2-inch lengths
6 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup dried morels (about 1/2 oz) or 1/2 cup porcini mushroom ( about 1/2 oz)
2 cups hot water
2 large shallots, thinly sliced
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

In a large saucepan, combine the onion, garlic and 2 tablespoons of the oil and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the asparagus and cook for 5 minutes, stirring.
Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to moderately low and cook until the asparagus are very tender, about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°.
In a bowl, soak the morels in the hot water until softened, about 20 minutes.
Swirl to dislodge any grit; drain and chop.
In a pie plate, toss the morels, shallots, remaining 1/2 tablespoon of oil and a pinch each of salt and pepper.
Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the shallots are softened and lightly browned.
Working in batches, puree the soup in a blender.
Return the soup to the saucepan and season with salt and pepper.
Ladle into soup plates, garnish with the mushroom mixture and serve.
NOTE: If you'd like to garnish the soup with asparagus tips, set aside 16 two-inch tips before cutting up the stalks. Blanch or sauté the tips separately.
NOTE: The soup and morel garnish can be made ahead and refrigerated separately overnight. Rewarm before serving.
