I make this during asparagus season when my husband's patch is producing a lot. It is very fresh tasting, and the longer it sits, the better it is.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.

I'm not usually a fan of vegetable soups, but this one was really good. The goat cheese added a nice touch.

This French spring soup was a delight! The flavors of the fresh vegetables and herbs really shone through. I especially loved the addition of the goat cheese, which gave the soup a creamy and tangy finish. I will definitely be making this soup again
