Soups & Sweet for 5.5.11

We have had our share of April showers!  Let’s hope that the start of May ushers in some drier weather, blossoms & the beginning of  easily accessible local produce!  This weeks soup feature spring ingredients…I can’t guarantee that they will all be Vermont grown (especially not the asparagus, to early for that) but I will try where I can!
