It's Spring - It's Asparagus

Spring is here, and asparagus is finally in season! In Chicago, I found beautiful dark green asparagus bunches at our Green City Market on Saturday. If you are lucky enough to find white asparagus or those huge spears of green asparagus, enjoy them. Everyone loves my Asparagus Soup, but I didn’t have a recipe. I finally wrote down the recipe so others can enjoy it. It’s a compilation of my grandmother’s fresh asparagus soup and of my friend Katie’s recipe. My grandmother would pick delicious asparagus from her garden. She’d leave the soup chunky and add lots of cream. Growing up on a farm in Kansas, the asparagus soup was always a very special treat.
