Heat the butter in a saucepan and sauté the
onion, celery, and asparagus for 5 minutes. Add the water and bring
to a boil. Simmer for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, steam the asparagus tip
for 5 minutes. Working in batches, purée the soup in a blender
and reheat for 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. In a
bowl, blend the egg yolks, cream and cornstarch to a smooth mixture.
Add one cup of the soup and stir well. Pour the mixture into the saucepan;
reheat and adjust the seasoning. At the last minute, stir in lemon zest
and juice to desired piquancy. Serve the soup in individual bowls, garnished
with the asparagus tips.
