Asparagus & avocado soup

Serves - 2

This is a lovely cleansing soup. Asparagus contains amino acid asparagine which has diuretic properties and is also high in fibre so great for gut health. Avocado adds a creaminess and also packs a nutrient punch of healthy fats, fibre, potassium and many other vitamins and minerals.
