Fellow Canners, we are in the midst of the cold-and-flu season and many areas of the world are still working to combat COVID-19. In this, and several upcoming episodes, my goal is to give you immune-boosting recipes you may create and preserve in a jar. It is imperative we do all we can to keep our immune systems balanced and give our bodies the support they need when fighting off bacteria and viruses. In today’s episode we are going to focus on the vital micronutrients of asparagus. Asparagus is one of the most nutritionally well-balanced vegetables – it is high in folic acid, is a good source of potassium, fiber, thiamin, and vitamins contains vitamins A, B6, and C. I will walk through each step of my Asparagus Soup recipe so you may have this healthy soup on your pantry shelf throughout the winter months.
