Let’s talk savvy, tasty soups for a minute. This soup has a special place in my heart. From a very young age, our son always loved asparagus. I mean, who doesn’t love anything sautéed in butter with onion and garlic seasoning? But he could never remember its name, so Green Sticks became its name at our house.
Turning those tasty green sticks into a soup was a complete no brainer. This soup smells divine while cooking and tastes even better. I know it’s green and it’s asparagus, but I promise if you give this one a try you won’t be disappointed. And when you pair it with chicken salad on a croissant, even better. Now that’s what I call a savvy bowl of green goodness!
