Ingredients

Place the cream and chicken stock in a saucepan over a medium heat. Roughly chop the asparagus spears, then add to the saucepan with the garlic and cook for 10–15 minutes, or until tender.

Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth.

Return the mixture to the saucepan and place over a low heat, then season with nutmeg and salt.

Once warm, pour into serving bowls, add a spoonful of crème fraîche to each and scatter over the asparagus tips. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and garnish with lime zest.
