2 tablespoons minced shallot
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

    In a 10-inch heavy skillet heat butter over moderate heat until foam subsides and cook morels, asparagus, and shallot, stirring, until asparagus is barely tender, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle flour over mixture and cook over moderately low heat, stirring, 2 minutes. Add consommé and water and bring to a boil, stirring. Simmer mixture, stirring, 2 minutes and season with salt and pepper.
