ASPARAGUS VEGETABLE SOUP
My husband and I lived in the country after he retired and we had a big vegetable garden..I looked forward to Spring not only to have warmer weather but also being able to have fresh asparagus shooting up every day we also planted other vegies..it was so nice to be able to walk out and have fresh vegetables to bring to my kitchen...
