Seasonal Cannabis-Infused Asparagus-Dill Soup
The month of the year I cannot wait for the most is March. When I enter the store and see beautiful, bright green asparagus displayed - I think to myself, “Like, YES! My favorite spring vegetable is back!”As soon as it’s here, I fill my menu with easy asparagus dishes, like asparagus salads, baked lemon chicken with asparagus, asparagus tart, and, of course, this delicious cannabis-infused asparagus-dill soup.This simple & tasty soup will be ready in about 30 minutes, and is a perfect light meal to enjoy, on a lovely, spring day. You can also make it purely vegetarian, by using vegetable broth, instead of chicken broth.This velvety, creamy soup is made without cream, but some cannabis instead. For this soup, I infuse olive oil with Sativa strains. These strains, in general, uplift your mood. I know a lot of people, who are getting relief from their depression, using good sativa strains like Jack Herer.
