THAI ASPARAGUS MINI PRAWN SOUP

Soups are the best appetizer to have specially on cold days or for the people who down with cold. I prepared this soup when I was in US. I was very much interested using asparagus when I see them in grocery shop in stalks and thats somthing news that I didn't ever found in India. I wanted to know how it taste. So gave a try first with making a soup under ''Thai Cuisine'' which I would like to dye for. I used mini prawns as a best combo with asparagus and gave it a nice fresh flavour of bazil leaves which has turned into hearty, perfect and filling soup.
