Lunch

I didn’t grow up eating asparagus, and when I finally did, I didn’t love it. But one July day in 2016, while pregnant with my twin daughters and reeling from loss and uncertainty, a kind nurse handed me a simple hospital cup filled with asparagus soup. That ordinary bowl of soup met me at an extraordinary moment, and changed everything. This is the story of how I fell in love with asparagus, and the comforting recipe that now lives in my kitchen every spring.
