Chicken base is basically dehydrated, powdered chicken stock. If you can't find it in the supermarket, grind chicken bouillon cubes. For the asparagus, cut about two inches off the stem end. You don't need to peel it. To blanch spinach, simply drop it in boiling salted water for one minute and then immediately submerge it in ice water to stop the cooking and retain the color. The spinach will provide the soup with a vibrant green hue.

For a 9 inch pie Make sure you have cold ingredients, don't overwork the dough-it will make it tough, add ice water GRADUALLY-too much makes the crust tough, not enough makes it crack. The dough should just form clumps.
