    Why we ❤️ it

    Asparagus is one of my favorite vegetables, I never thought, though, to ever add an asparagus recipe on this blog, as it is not generally something we Dominicans eat. Once I found out that it was grown locally, I had to share this vegetarian asparagus soup recipe with you.

    If you've never cooked with asparagus before, fear not, this recipe is foolproof, and you won't go wrong with it, whether you're a vegan or not.

    What's asparagus

    Asparagus is the tip of the stalks from a herbaceous plant that grows in temperate climates. It has a mild flavor, and a soft flesh (once cooked), and it's a favorite served as a side dish.

    There are two varieties of asparagus, most commonly this green one, and a thicker white one, both are the same plant, only the method of cultivation differs.

    In the Dominican Republic asparagus can grow in the Constanza region, and it's available in chain supermarkets when in season.

    Benefits of asparagus

    Asparagus is very low in carbohydrates and fats, which makes them perfect for people following diets that restrict these nutrients. It contains vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K, thiamin, riboflavin, as well as vitamin B6, calcium, magnesium, and zinc. Other nutrients found in asparagus are rutin, niacin, folic acid, iron, phosphorus, potassium, copper, manganese, chromium, and selenium [1].

    About this recipe

    For such a simple dish, this asparagus soup has a very complex taste, and it is very filling. It's time to make the most of the short asparagus season to enjoy one of my favorite vegetables in a creamy soup. 

    Buen provecho!
