- Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan, add the onion, and cook until the onion softens, about 4 minutes.

Add the water, butter, lemon slice, and lemon zest, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, slice off the tough ends of the asparagus stalks and discard them. Cut the spears on a diagonal into 1-inch lengths.

Add the asparagus, cover, and cook until just tender, 4 to 5 minutes.

STIR-FRIED WILD RICE WITH ASPARAGUS AND MUSHROOMS
A wonderful combination of flavors. Serves 4 as an entree or 6 as a hearty side. Add grilled tofu chunks for more protein. If you can't afford shitake mushrooms, it would probably be good with creminis. Cooking time includes rice, which you can do ahead of time. I cooked the 2 different kinds of rice together in a rice cooker with lots of water for about an hour. Adapted from The One-Dish Vegetarian by Maria Robbins.

Tips:
- Choose fresh and tender asparagus. Look for spears that are bright green and snap easily. Avoid spears that are woody or have yellow or brown tips.
- Prepare the asparagus properly. Trim the tough ends of the asparagus spears and cut them into 1-inch pieces. If you are using thick asparagus spears, you may need to peel them before cutting them.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This recipe calls for carrots, celery, and onion, but you can also add other vegetables such as potatoes, peas, or corn.
- Use a good quality chicken broth. The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. You can use homemade chicken broth or a store-bought brand that you like.
- Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream.
- Garnish the soup with fresh herbs. Fresh herbs such as parsley, chives, or dill add a nice touch of flavor and color to the soup.
