Asparagus Soup

This Spring Meal Idea is a crowd pleaser. I teased it out to the kids (7 year old was a 2 bowl kind of gal) and am adding it to the holiday menu. I use Lily’s Ladle Veggie Mineral Broth, but the protein varieties are excellent as well. We did a cheese crumble choice of feta or blue, highly recommended both! But you do you! 🍃 🌱
