I enjoy making this soup during spring, when asparagus are abundant!. Look for them at farmers markets and even grocery stores comes April and May. Asparagus are considered one of the foods highest in glutathione, an important antioxidant with several health properties, helps the body detoxify, minimize DNA cell damage, great digestive aid and provide a good dose of fiber. 

Zucchini is cooling in nature, making it appealing for a person with too much internal heat. Leafy greens, like spinach, have a wide range of health supportive actions. Actually, there is no downside to including leafy greens in any of our daily meals!
