Soup Making Tips -
Asparagus

	Asparagus shoots or spears are sold in bunches at supermarkets and specialty produce stores year-round, but enjoy a peak season during the late spring and early summer. While most asparagus is green, white asparagus can be found occasionally. The highly nutritious, fresh spears can be cooked a number of ways including boiling, steaming, microwaving, sautéing, roasting, broiling, and grilling.

Soup Making Tips -
Coconut Water

	The liquid found inside young or immature coconuts, coconut water is high in electrolytes, and potassium. Coconut water is naturally low in carbohydrates, fat free and fairly low sugar content. Coconut water is not the same product as coconut milk or coconut sugar. The specialty water can be found in bottles and cans with sport drinks and other beverages.
