1/4 cup potato, peeled & diced about 1/2 the size of the asparagus pieces so the cooking time is equal
1/8 cup shallot, peeled & finely diced

1
Over medium heat, sweat the shallots and garlic in butter in a pot.

Once the shallots are translucent add the potato, asparagus and tarragon.

After a minute, add the chicken stock and bring to a simmer.
4
Once the asparagus and potatoes are cooked through (timing will depend on size of pieces), puree in a blender and pass through a fine strainer.
5
Place back in pot and bring to a boil.

Since watercress is a little bitter, I suggest you add it gradually- puree& taste.
