Add the fresh asparagus to the pot and cook soup for an additional 5 minutes.  Taste the asparagus – it should still be slightly firm to the bite; taste the soup for seasoning and adjust with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.  Drizzle your best extra virgin olive oil on top of each portion just before serving.
