  4. Add flour and saute, stirring continuously, till the raw smell disappears.
  5. Toast the almonds in another non-stick pan over medium heat till the skins change colour slightly.
  6. Add 2 cups vegetable stock to the onion-flour mixture, a little at a time, and keep stirring so that no lumps form. Simmer for 2-3 minutes or till it thickens slightly.
  7. Transfer the blanched asparagus pieces into a blender jar, add a little vegetable stock and blend into a puree.
  8. Add this puree to the pan and mix well. Add spinach puree and salt and mix well. Simmer on low heat for 2-3 minutes.
  9. Thickly slice the toasted almonds.
  10. Add milk to the soup and mix well and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Add almonds and mix well.
  11. Put the asparagus tips into a serving bowl, pour the boiling soup over them and serve hot.
