FULL SEASON ON THE ASPARAGUS
Do you like ASPARAGUS? Now is the full season 
I think it shows up early in spring already because it is a great support for the detoxification – asparagus has diuretic properties and helps to clean the kidneys. The amount of fiber helps also to clean the intestines and have regular bowel movement. Asparagus is also a great source of potassium – a mineral which is quite often deficient these days.
I would like to propose to you a SUPER DELICIOUS AND SUPER SIMPLE WHITE ASPARAGUS SOUP RECIPE
We have a choice of green, purple and white asparagus. White asparagus is one of the delicacies in Germany – I had a chance to eat it there
Asparagus is one of the most frequently recommended sources of prebiotics to nourish the intestinal flora. Prebiotics are the part of the plant that our body cannot digest. However, they have a positive effect on our health by selectively stimulating the growth and / or activity of one or a limited number of probiotic bacteria already present in the large intestine. Fructans are the leading prebiotic in the root and rhizome of asparagus.
They also have relatively few calories, but are rich in folic acid, vitamins K, A and C.
The asparagus also contains the so-called Asparagic acid, containing sulfur, which gives urine a specific smell after ingestion
The recipe for the soup was given to me by my friend from the Netherlands
INGREDIENTS:
1 bunch of white asparagus (about 400g)
0.5 liters of poultry broth (I recommend the Natur Campagnie brand or any other without additional flavorings)
1 heaped tablespoon of flour (can be spelled or rice for people without gluten)
1 heaped tablespoon of butter
pepper and salt
parsley, finely chopped (optional)
Peel the asparagus, but do not throw the peel away.
Bring the broth to the boil and add the peeled asparagus, including peels, and cook for 30 minutes.
Then drain the asparagus, leaving the broth and discarding the peelings.
In a pot, heat the butter and add flour to make a light roux. Then add the broth a bit and mix with a whisk, finally add asparagus and mix with a blender.
Finally, decorate with parsley.
Enjoy your soup!
