Simple Asparagus Mint Soup

With our spring cleansers in mind, we whipped up this delicious, oh-so-springy, cleansing soup featuring asparagus.

The unique flavor of asparagus lends itself to a pure and lovely light soup. But what we love the most, is that asparagus is alkalizing, as well as an effective and natural diuretic, which both aid in detoxification and cleansing.

Like any leafy green, asparagus delivers folate, which works with vitamin B12 to help prevent cognitive impairment. That is just a fancy way of saying this soup will keep you wise beyond your years (who doesn’t need that?!)!

Enjoy the soup as we usher in spring together.

By the way, if you see other varieties of asparagus at the market such as white or purple, give them a try! They are all delicious and full of health benefits, but this recipe works best with the green variety.

Soup doesn’t get any easier than this! And seriously…who knew cleansing could taste this good?
