Soup Making Tip
Choosing Asparagus
Dull green color and ridges in the stalks of asparagus, are a clear indicator of old produce. Look for bright green, smooth stalks.

Soup Making Tip
Arugula
Arugula goes bad quickly (within just a few days of purchase), so choose bunches of arugula that looks very fresh, and are not yellow or slimy.
