A World Soup

I had some lovely green asparagus from the market in Nice which I made into a risotto, using all the tough inedible stalks in the stock (see Asparagus Risotto). After making the risotto, some of the stock remained to which I added swiss chard (blette in France and mangold in England) and whatever other vegetables I had in the kitchen, viz:

Vegetables
Asparagus
Swiss chard
Artichoke leaves
Sprouted mung beans
Carrot
Onion
Fennel

Most importantly, I added these herbs and spices

Garam masala
Tumeric
Cummin
Ginger
Bay leaf
Garlic
Oregano
Coriander leaves
Parsley

and while cooking, some oatmeal or quinoa (for body)
