Saturday afternoon. Front porch. Tea. Cookies. Magazine. Ah, life is good.
Last night I told hubby if today is not raining I’m going to take all the flowers out, arrange the front porch and enjoy the day. And that’s what I did. In the morning I took my 30+ flowers out, watered them, arranged a coffee area and enjoyed the weather while Tiffany was sleeping. Felt so good. It’s been a while since I let myself carried away without worrying what’s for dinner or if the bread is about to get burned

Now, although the sun was up and shining, my throat was still sore and from time to time I have a funny voice. Hubby makes fun of me calling me Olive (from Popeye the Sailor Man).
Soup was what I needed.
A big bowl of warming soup.
Usually in my area asparagus’s price is $3.99/pound. Now I found it on sale, $1.99 per pound. Yeeee. That’s a good deal, right?
Since we all are asparagus fans I bought around 3 pounds. I wanted to make some asparagus soup and knew exactly which recipe.
If you’re wondering why my soup is so green, well my friends, the secret is wilted spinach. About 1-2 handful when the asparagus soup is done, cover and let it wilt. Then puree as usual.
The soup was so good. The spinach can’t be detected, just in case you have picky eaters at the table.
I haven’t had asparagus soup in a while, missed it.
To get the recipe you’ll have to go over Kate’s blog.
I haven’t been reading Kate’s blog for long, but ever since I discovered it I was pleased with her traditions, very similar to mine since, just like me, she comes from an Eastern European country.
Check her Christmas Menu and you’ll be impressed by her dishes.
Next on my list are these apple coconut bites and pear crumble muffins. Gotta have those daily fruit servings, right?
Thank you Kate for sharing so many wonderful recipes with us.

Nothing nicer than fresh asparagus soup and the addition of spinach for the colour is so clever.

How wonderful that you got to spend an afternoon out on your porch with your lovely flowers. I am hoping your throat feels better soon, but I am sure you do not sound like Olive
Another amazing soup and I happen to love spinach so even if it could be detected I would still enjoy, but you are right it does add a punch to the color…just gorgeous
OMG I love this!!! Another meal my daughter and I would slurp up in no time! Gorgeous presentation as well!!
Supa aceasta ma intriga, pentru ca nu folosesc asparagusul prea des
vremea e intr-adevar superba afara, se simte primavara in aer, si miroase a primavara!
Yes, that is an incredible price for asparagus. If I could find it for that little, I'd have bought several pounds as well. The soup is gorgeous. Thanks for passing along the tip about the wilted spinach….beautiful color AND good for you! I love it.
