Asparagus Curry Chickpea Soup

First of all, ...Yum. Spicey, flavorful, with an undertone of subtle sweet, how can you go wrong? [As experimenters we know the opportunities are endless :-P]. You could make this all at once, but I'm dictating here how I ended up going about making it in two batches.

La zuppa prima*
Cook until tender, blend, then strain.
3/4 cup asparagus stems
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/2 tsp dark soy sauce
1 tsp lemon juice
a little salt and pepper (poco sale di marino e quattro stagioni pepe)
herb of choice (non ho ricordo)

La zuppa seconda**
1 can chickpeas (half the water drained)
red pepper flakes (as desired)
1 tsp curry powder
1 tbs balsamic vinegar

Combine: zuppa prima e seconda (per mangiare finalmente)!

Experiment and enjoy!

*may have included additional flavors
**vary amounts according to personal taste.
