Chop the tips off the asparagus and keep to one side for later
Roughly chop asparagus stalks
Gently fry onions, leeks and celery for 10 min until soft (not brown)
Add asparagus stalks and stock. Simmer for 20 min with the lid on
Remove from heat and blitz until smooth
Season with salt & pepper
Put soup back on heat and add asparagus tips
Just before serving, poach the eggs until the yolk is still a bit runny
Serve the creamy asparagus soup with a slice of toasted Rye bread and a poached egg floating on top.
