A Joyful Keeper

My dh has Monday and Tuesday off, so we are heading to his parent’s place for a little vacation I am bringing my sewing machine and plan to have quality time with her! LOL! I know the kids will be enjoying time with Dad and grandparents, so I am hoping to have some time to myself. I’ve also just developed a nasty head cold, so a quiet weekend will be good.

So,… have a great weekend everyone. I’ll be back in the middle of next week.

Oh, before I forget. I made asparagus soup with the rest of the asparagus from our new garden. It was yummy too!

I didn’t use any particular recipe. I just made a basic cream soup with some butter and flour mixed together, and then I added the stock from when I boiled the asparagus. I tossed in some chicken stock cubes, salt, and mashed the asparagus roughly and added it. I kept adding stock until I like the consistency of the soup. I drizzled a bit of cream on the top and sprinkled on some homemade croutons.You can use this same method with any other vegetable. I particularly like cauliflower and/or broccoli soup. Let me know if you try it! It’s delicious!
