Asparagus Soup

Grilled Asparagus Soup served cold with chopped almonds and extra virgin olive oil.

I grilled asparagus then pureed it with my recently-made chicken stock, lemon juice and some garlic scapes (just cause I had them on hand).

I let the mixture cool then topped with chopped almonds and a drizzle of evoo.

The soup was kinda powerful. Next time I'll add a touch of honey for some sweetness and maybe a touch of cream, just for a little enrichment. The almonds were great in the soup.

Summery Meal

This right here is the food that I really like to eat. It's healthy, it's local, it's fresh. Eating like this gives me a lot of personal satisfaction, and I feel great afterwards.

It's grilled asparagus from a nearby farm, incredible, extra sharp-chevre from another nearby farm specializing in goat's milk products, basil and chives from my backyard, walnuts, and a few squeezes of lemon juice.

And it really needs nothing else.
