Two-Tone Soup With Asparagus

Green asparagus is quite common, but have you ever had white asparagus? They have a bit of a different taste but they are delicious. There was nothing else for me to prepare the white asparagus. I decided to mix white and green in the soup. Two-color soup. Same ingredients, similar taste and two colors. It looks beautiful and tastes even better.
