Nutritional values

Beans, wild garlic, and green asparagus form a trio of vegetables rich in minerals. With 30 percent of your daily magnesium requirement, a bowl of this low-fat and low-calorie soup helps during an especially tiring time like pregnancy, breastfeeding, or after strenuous exercise or sports.

If you like, put some wild garlic aside, finely chopped it, and sprinkle it over the soup just before serving: this gives the soup an aromatic kick and extra vitamin C.
