  3. Asparagus Soup. Asparagus is known for being one of the healthiest vegetables alongside of spinach. It has fiber, folate, and vitamins A, C, E and K. If you ask me that’s a ton of nutrients all in one vegetable. Making it into a soup adds a different take on the vegetable. Turning asparagus into a soup keeps the nutrients but adds a different taste to it by adding a variety of spices and vegetables.

  4. Grilled Artichokes. This is a vegetable that can be used for many different recipes. It can be used on sandwiches, salads, and even by themselves. One reason people use them for so many different things is because of the taste and nutrients they have. Artichokes have protein, carbohydrates, fiber, calcium, sodium, and vitamins A, B, E, and K (Fit Day). This is another delicious vegetable that can help fulfil the hunger of your family.
