The temperatures are still cool in many parts of the Northern hemisphere, yet the new season of crops has begun to emerge with spring vegetables suddenly appearing in perfect form.  In particular, I have been eyeing the beautifully thin stalks of asparagus with their tightly closed tips. Asparagus is a powerhouse of nutrition, loaded with Vitamin K, folate, potassium, you name it.  But never mind that, it is a vegetable that my husband actually enjoys (!!) so I have eagerly stocked up.  Plus, while asparagus may signal spring, it still lends itself perfectly to warm winter dishes.  While I know I will be tempted to roast every last bunch, I am determined to make room on my culinary agenda to try this lovely Asparagus Soup.
