HOW TO MAKE DELICIOUS CREAM OF ASPARAGUS & MUSHROOM SOUP

I hope this finds everyone well rested after the holiday season. Regardless of our food choices, many of us have over indulged and are looking forward to getting back to normal after a busy season. We tend to eat too much, dine out too often and not sleep enough but now we are in a new year and we can get back on track. Yesterday, I wanted to make a good soup and I craved a good home cooked meal, so I decided to get back in my kitchen and do some cooking. I had an excess of mushrooms that were still good despite sitting in my crisper for almost two weeks and some asparagus that needed to be used, so why not make a soup with them. The beauty of this recipe is that the asparagus can be substituted with broccoli or cauliflower if asparagus isn’t your favourite.
