Spring Asparagus!

Living in the NW, we haven't seen any local asparagus yet, but we have started seeing some asparagus from other places at good prices in our grocery stores. We love asparagus and I am excited to start making my asparagus recipes again that have been collecting dust over the winter.

I saw an Asparagus Soup recipe on another blog and thought I would give it a try. One of my boys won't eat asparagus but I knew he would in a pureed soup. Both my boys seemed to like the soup OK, but I wasn't crazy about it. Of course, I made it on the spot when I saw it, so I had to leave out some ingredients, probably key to making it an interesting soup - the vermouth and the lemon juice.

Next up - an asparagus pasta dish...
