Spring is coming ! Therefore for us who lives in Upper Normandy, cloudy and rainy day sometimes come along. But don’t be sad, because it would be a good season to find fresh spring vegetables easily everywhere. Asparagus is one of this kind vegetables. Since I’m Indonesian, I’m going to share you one of my old asparagus spring soup recipe with Indonesian taste. This recipe might give you a smart idea for those who prefer to eat asparagus soup without cream. Say good-bye to creamy soup because it’s spring baby !!
