Wild asparagus soup is a traditional recipe of Andalusia cuisine and there are many versions and varieties. It is a soup whose main ingredients are green asparagus, slices of bread, garlic, smoked paprika, egg and in some cases small cubes of ham or chorizo. I have prepared a vegan version of this delicious soup with seaman cubes and replacing the egg with mushrooms. It is a hearty and tasty dish, perfect for lunch
