What can I make with woody ends of asparagus?

Chef's answer
Cut off the very end, taste, and if it is fibrous, cut off a little more and try again. When you find the point where it becomes tender, cut the bunch and save the ends to make asparagus stalk soup.

Just like the tips, asparagus ends have the most exquisite flavour that can be used to make delectable soups and sauces. If you're having asparagus spears for dinner and don't want to include a soup course, store the ends in the freezer until needed.
