Here's how the story starts:

As the snow melts, even in Minnesota, and daylight lingers into evening, people who like to eat with the seasons know what's coming: asparagus.

Spargel soup tonight! DS loved it.

--Asparagus (1lb or so), chopped and roasted  (tossed in EVOO, coarse salt and pepper first)
--Onion and two cloves of garlic sauteed. I sauteed in EVOO but added a little butter at the end.
--1 cup of No-chicken Stock by Imagine (I'm guessing non-vegetarians would use chicken stock)
--1 cup-ish of 1% milk

blended it

reheated it

served with a few dollops of goat cheese and garnished with a few spargel spear tips I saved from the blender

wow

Cannot wait for some really FRESH a**-per-grass (that's what I grew up calling it) . . .

I'm really wanting to have some in my veggie garden (still in the planning stages, will be next year's project) . . . but this year I'll settle for Farmer's Market Fresh.  :-)

I love it in Pasta Primavera . . .

Going to add grilled asparagus to my menu with lamb / meat for April / Easter.

Yum!!
