It’s great to be back in the kitchen! I missed cooking for a few days while I was away!
Tonight’s meal could be made in so many ways, but I settled for the Vegetarian style because I saw the asparagus first in the fridge and thought it would be a fun twist! I was hoping I had some spinach left, but it was all gone! If you wanted to add meat to this soup, just add 1/2 lb ground beef and 1/2 lb ground sausage, or 1 lb ground beef.
