One restaurant in Santa Barbara (where I went to college) had this amazing asparagus soup appetizer. When I inquired about what was in the soup other than asparagus, the waiter said nothing except chicken stock. It was so good that I decided to recreate it with my own twist and since I made some charred bacon wrapped asparagus a couple weeks ago, I figured why not take that great charred flavor and incorporate it into a soup? The added flavor from the roasted asparagus and bacon was just what the soup needed.
