I recently ended up with a large stash of tenderstem broccoli and asparagus in my stocks. I know...such a hardship. To me these two humble veggies are a perfect combination. I have many recipes that I use them together as the star attraction but for some reason I had not tried them in soup. As I had acquired quite a stash I decided to give it a shot.
I didn't want anything taking away from the natural flavours of these green lovelies. So I added ginger to give the soup a little warmth, green lentils to fill it out and Braggs to add to the savouriness. The results were a pleasure to eat. This soup has an wholesome, healing feel as you eat it. The flavours combine to bring a fresh earthiness to each mouthful and the ginger is a pleasant heat. It is also quick to make and freezes well too. When you are in need of nourishment this soup really hits the spot...
