Let us face it, cooking isn't just a top priority from the lives of every person, woman, or child on Earth. In actuality, way too people have made learning to cook important within their own lives. Which means that people usually exist on power foods and boxed mixes rather than taking the time to prepare healthy food for the families and our personal enjoyment.
Wholesome cooking is often difficult since most people don't wish to spend some time preparing and planning meals which our own families refuse to eat. At the exact same timewe need our families to be healthy so that we feel compelled to master new and improved methods of cooking well balanced meals to the family to enjoy (and regrettably in some scenarios scorn).

Instructions to make Broccoli & Asparagus Soup
- Add the vegetable stock to the boiling water and stir through to dissolve. Add to a saucepan over a high heat and then place in all of the broccoli stalks. Bring to a boil and cook for around 7 minutes. Next add in the florets and continue to boil.
- In a frying pan, add in the olive oil and once hot sear the asparagus and the chopped onion until it gets a bit of colour and the asparagus is slightly charred. Remove from the heat. Remove the asparagus, chop it up into smaller pieces and add it in with the broccoli. Set aside the onions for the time being.
- Boil the broccoli until the stalks are nice and soft and the water has reduced down by about half. Season well with salt and a pinch of white pepper to taste.
- Add the cooked onions in with the broccoli and asparagus. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes.
- Using a hand blender or regular blender, blend until nice and smooth and no large lumps remain. Add in half the milk and blend again until a smoother texture is achieved. Add the remaining milk, blend one final time until velvety smooth.
- For the garnish I like to fry up some bacon until crispy, then sprinkle on top with some crème fraiche or fat free quark, and a little drizzle of extra virgin olive oil then a few sprigs of fresh parsley leaves. Then a final grind of black pepper and salt to taste. Enjoy!
