For some reason, when I thought of entering a soup for this spring vegetable contest, I almost felt as though it was too easy. Just throw spring veggies in a pot, simmer and blend, right? simple. not so much, i found, after 2 so-so attempts with various spring veggies. Then I saw mrs wheelbarrow's post for pickling asparagus and decided that I must have pickled asparagus. and at the same time, learned what to do with the hardened stems I am always throwing away. Make a soup. this is pretty much a combination of what I picked up at the farmer's market this week and whatever didn't work on my other tries. third time's a charm, right?
