Asparagus Soup with Ham and Egg

Steps

1. Roughly chop onion. In a stockpot, gently cook onion in butter until tender, about 5 min. While onion is cooking, peel and quarter the potato and set aside. Trim the green asparagus and chop into 2-inch pieces.
2. Add the potato, asparagus, 2 cups water and vegetable broth to the onion and bring to a boil. Simmer for 10 min. Remove soup from the heat, add yogurt and purée with an immersion blender. Cover and keep warm.
3. Remove and discard the woody ends of the white asparagus. Chop asparagus into 2-inch pieces. Bring a saucepan of water to a boil, add the eggs and white asparagus and simmer for 10 min. Meanwhile, add a handful of ice cubes to a bowl of cold water. Drain eggs and asparagus and add eggs to ice water to cool. Add white asparagus to puréed soup.
4. Peel and finely dice eggs. Cut the ham into strips. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with the ham and diced egg.
