This soup honestly photographed so well, I couldn’t decide on just one image.

Asparagus makes the perfect Spring dish, with many local farmers markets and grocery stores offering great deals on this healthy vegetable.

My mother, who has always disliked soup, absolutely loves my Asparagus Brie Soup.  I made it first for her years ago when she was recovering from surgery, and now it’s the only soup she’ll eat.
