When I got the bunch out, I noticed that one of the spears was much longer than the others and another was already showing signs of sprouting as well. <\/p>\n<p>The largest spear had been growing in the measuring cup I use to hold the bunch while we&#8217;re getting ready to use them a few days after buying them in the produce department at the supermarket. I can&#8217;t recall seeing any other asparagus spears doing this well (if doing at all) in the shallow water in the cup.<\/p>\n<p>The bottom line is that I chopped up all of the asparagus in the bunch, added some savory ingredients and some bread to thicken the mixture. I then put the mixture in the blender to render a nice aromatic mix. I topped it off at the serving table with some pancetta (Italian bacon) as a garnish. Needless to say, it was a very tasty and healthy late lunch soup that we enjoyed on last Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I&#8217;m good.
