A delicious, creamy soup is such a wonderful way to end a busy day, especially when the recipe is packed with nutrients. I love asparagus because this lovely green veggie is high in vitamin K, antioxidants, and is amazing for digestion.
This recipe doesn't commonly include bone broth, but I added it in instead of regular broth. It offers so many important nutrients for daily health and combines nicely with asparagus and garlic. If you'd like to make your own bone broth, you can give this recipe a try.
