RecipeSavants - Creamy Asparagus Soup With Ramps

Starter - American

SERVES

Creamy Asparagus Soup With Ramps

Ramps belong to the same family as onions and garlic, and they look like miniature leeks. These pungent greens have a short spring season, so take advantage of them in a delicious soup. This recipe also features tender asparagus. The cooked veggies are pureed with chicken stock, yogurt, and fragrant spices. Top this velvety soup with a few sautéed asparagus tips, leeks, and mint.

Side Dish - American

SERVES

Easy Almond Rice Pilaf

This easy almond rice pilaf recipe is a great way to dress up your traditional plain rice by adding onions, chicken broth, slivered almonds, raisins, and fresh parsley. Pair this dish with some pork chops and grilled vegetables for a well-rounded meal.

Dessert - American

SERVES

Pistachio Ice Cream

Cream cheese makes this pistachio ice cream even creamier than a traditional recipe. The toasted pistachios are sure to stand out but not overpower the sweetness of the ice cream. This recipe takes a bit of work, but trust me it is worth it.

Cocktail Pairing - European

SERVES

Classic Aperol Spritz

For the perfect after-work aperitif, consider my version of this class Italian cocktail. The fizzy blend of soda and the sweet prosecco balance the delightful bitterness of the Aperol. You can make these drinks individually or serve as a pitcher cocktail.
