'I associate asparagus with spring-time...and its beautiful green color with new life,' shares Lynn Vogel of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. 'That's why this delightful soup is the perfect started to our family's Easter dinner each year.'
I modified Beatrice's Excellent Oatmeal cookies very slightly. I came up with something that my boyfriend went CRAZY over! I've never seen him enjoy cookies to that extent! He said I blew his mother's recipe away.
Even kids who don't care for vegetable soup may enjoy this one. Very good flavor. Sometimes I use crushed tomatoes with garlic, onion, or basil now that they're available. Turkey smoked sausage is great in this recipe!
A great side dish for fennel lovers, originally from a friend in Israel. I have used water instead of broth, with some added salt and seasoning. I have also replaced the mustard seed with regular mustard.
Large pearls of Israeli couscous combine with garbanzo beans, feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and Greek olives to make a side dish or light main dish that's perfect for a hot summer's day.
Corn tortillas provide this soup with both its flavor and texture. It's a fast-growing favorite in the Southeast. I especially like this recipe because it can be made quickly and easily and it can serve as an appetizer or a main dish.
I love gardening and have a big pumpkin patch. A few years ago when our harvest was very plentiful, I experimented and came up with this recipe. My family just loves this soup.
