Creamy Asparagus soup with Cappuccino of smoked ham and Old Amsterdam cheese

This is the first post where I use an INGREDIENT that I brought from a city in HOLLAND. The first free ride -of course- I was heading to Amsterdam. The City that is famous for its canals showed a completely DIFFERENT face this time. The sport shops were packed, people trying on skates and you wouldn't find a piece on the canals without people walking or SKATING on them. The item I brought is -of course- OLD AMSTERDAM Cheese.


Ingredients:
2 boxes of small and thin Green ASPARAGUS
1/2 liter of water
1 Herbs SOUP Cube
1 CHICKEN soup cube

200 ml Cooking cream
3 slice of SMOKED ham

Old Amsterdam Cheese

PREPARATION
Put the CREAM on low gas and place the 3 slice of HAM in it. When the asparagus is ready, remove the ham and make is fluffy and bubbly with the hand blender.

Cook the Asparagus in water and a pinch of salt. When it gets soft remove most of the water, so you have approximately HaLF liter left. Put the soup CUBEs is and cook  it for 10 minutes on low gas. Smash it with a HAND BLENDER.

Put some soup in a cup or bowl, and carefully spread some CREAM over it with a spoon. Sprinkle some OLD Amsterdam CHEesE on top. You can save the top of one or two Asparagus as a decoration.
