Mushroom Asparagus Soup

While making dinner last night, I couldn’t resist the idea of sharing this original recipe, that came out so good. Although, after reading dozens of cookbooks, and recipe blogs, I am not sure how many of the recipes I can call completely original, as some recipes always make a mark and play like a tune in the head until you have learned playing that on the piano.

Here it is for you,

Ingredients:

White or crimini mushrooms
Asparagus
Onion
Ginger
Garlic
Oil
Thyme
Oregano

Black pepper

Recipe:

• ·      Blanch the vegetables in salted water. Strain, keep aside

• ·      Put this in a blender and blend to a smooth paste
