Take eight pounds of gravy beef, with five pints of water, a few sweet
herbs, and an onion shred, with a little pepper and salt; when the
strength of the meat is sufficiently extracted, strain off the soup,
and add to it a bundle of asparagus, cut small, with a little chopped
parsley and mint; the asparagus should be thoroughly done. a few
minutes before serving, throw in some fried bread cut up the size
of dice; pound a little spinach to a pulp, and squeeze it through a
cloth, stir about a tea-cup full of this essence into the soup, let it
boil up after to prevent a raw taste.
Asparagus is something that is cleansing for the kidneys. You can even smell the amino acids. Its great in the spring. It only grows every other year so I always found it hard to grow myself. For soup, its great. You can eay vegitable soup all day long and never gain an once.
