Now that I've broken the ice, as we say, I find it easier -

- to post about food. I would like to pass along an idea for a soup which I managed almost by chance by chucking in a number of disparate ingrendients. The doses are not very exact, so this is really more an idea than a recipe

Boil something like a pound of asparagus in vegetable stock over a slow fire, till even the stalks are softened. Separately, boil a couple of small sweet potatoes and cook one (regular) or two (small) red or yellow peppers. Take the asparagus from the stock, put them in a blender, and liquidize them very thoroughly - at least two minutes, because some of the fibres in the stalks can be quite stubborn. Add the sweet potatoes and peppers, blend further, mix the liquidized vegetables back into the stock, heat, and serve. The result is, I can assure you, delicious.

Did you boil the peppers or roast them before the blender?

Roast them - they keep more flavour that way.

That sounds really, really good.
