Experiments with Asparagus and Parsley April 22, 2010

This week we had an extra bunch of asparagus and a whole bunch of parsley bought in error (Mom thought it was cilantro). It has given me a chance to experiment with these recipes.

#1

Tried out this Asparagus Soup by Sunny Anderson. I have been watching her show and her preparations seem decent. The soup turned out to be delicious. (Next time I will reduce the quantity of butter by half and substitute with olive oil instead)
