Summer vegetable soup



This is my mamas recipe for delicious vegetable soup. We make it with vegetables that we
have on hand or the ones that are in season. Now asparagus is in season and I love it 
cooked, grilled and in soup. It makes difference cooking fresh instead of frozen, the texture is
almost silky smooth-no cream needed :)

Shopping for food



This is something I do rarely just because I don’t live close to any farmers market to be able to shop there on a daily basis. I lose control when it comes to buying fruit so this place was
heaven to me! I always buy more than I can eat before it gets bad...just like my grandfather :)
I also bought some fresh asparagus to make my mother’s asparagus soup. Recipe coming :)
