Asparagus soup

Description

A hearty first course. Asparagus shoots come in green, white, pink, and purple. The plant is rich in fiber, minerals, and vitamins, boosts metabolism, and is low in calories, making it ideal for preparing light, dietary dishes. Regardless of the cooking method, prepared asparagus should remain slightly crisp and juicy. The soup is ready to serve.
