Honestly, the creamy Avocado and Herb Green Sauce could make pretty much anything taste good. But, there’s also potatoes. And wild caught tuna fillets. And fresh cherry tomatoes. You know your salad is going to be good when you’d happily eat a plateful of every single individual component all on its own.

The preparation for this Cream of Asparagus Soup is simple and straight forward. But, the bright flavors and contrast of textures is anything but ordinary. Start by cooking the bottom half of asparagus stalks in a garlic, onion, and white wine broth until soft.

Stir in a handful of scallions and top steaming bowls of soup with crispy bacon and buttery croutons.
