Nah, I'm pretty aware of the cultivation of white asparagus, and I know what it looks like if they're allowed to grow; they become perfectly good green asparagus. I live pretty much in the middle of an area that produces shitloads of white asparagus, that's why I'm pretty familiar with the production (you don't buy asparagus in the shops around here, just hop in at one of the farms and buy them there). Nevertheless, I heard someone say once that for the cultivation of green asparagus a different strain was used, but no source was cited, nor a clear reason why this would be the case, so I can't really support my claim.

White asparagus needs to be peeled. It has a tougher outer skin that is very bitter if not removed.

I've always just thrown the white into the mix with green and never tasted a difference. Do you have a particular recipe for asparagus soup?

Not a particular recipe, no. I just simmer the peels in water, preferably the water I cooked the asparagus themselves in or home-made stock. Let the peels simmer for at least half an hour, then filter and discard the peels. Add instant stock (any kind) if you used plain water. Add 1" bits of asparagus and cook until tender. Then either serve as is, add milk or cream, and/or use a roux to bind the soup. Serve with chopped parsley.

My favorite way of eating asparagus is roasted with red bell peppers, red onion, olive oil, lemon juice, and copious amounts of crushed red pepper. :drooling:

That would be excellent with green asparagus!

I just ate some white asparagus with boiled potatoes (left in skin), a hard-boiled egg and some butter. Delicious...

I like it raw fresh from my garden.
However, if cooking, roasting, BBQ, or the hot oil method is preferred with sea salt mmmmm!!!
My asparagus is purple n delic!
Enjoy all
