\nWhen you see asparagus in the markets you know spring has arrived! \u00a0Here in southern California we may not realize it as much as folks who have lived through months of snow and bitter cold but, like golden daffodils, the way asparagus suddenly pokes its head from still-thawing soil, it too is a harbinger of spring. And after a long winter of hearty soups, a creamy delicate soup with bright flavors of \u00a0fresh asparagus \u00a0is refreshing.<\/p>\n

I’m sharing three ways to enjoy this wonderfully delicate vegetable in the next few days; the first is a Creamy Asparagus Soup. \u00a0Adapted from Clean Food <\/em>by Terry Walters<\/span><\/span>, this soup was surprisingly creamy without a bit of cream – the creaminess is achieved through the addition of rolled oats! I’m loving this cookbook, the book’s cover includes a recommendation from Mario Batali: \u201cClean Food<\/em> is the most exciting book based on fresh produce and simple recipes I have used in years”.<\/p>\n
