f you want a recipe that will have you
looking forward to spring while walking you through the end of winter, this vegan
soup is for you. Creamy asparagus soup is bright and flavorful while
being warm and comforting all at the same time.
I just love a good green
soup this time of the year. This one is no exception to the rule.
I say this all the time, but seriously,
this is such an easy recipe to make. Here’s the basic breakdown!
·
Saute onions in olive oil until translucent (but not browned).
·
Add in garlic, asparagus, beans, salt, and pepper, and give it a good stir.
·
Pour in veggie broth (or water) and bring to a boil
·
Reduce to a simmer and cook for 5-10 minutes or
until the asparagus is fork-tender.
·
Cool and blend until rich and creamy.
The secret to making this soup so creamy
without using any dairy is the beans! Once they blend up, they add a rich,
velvety texture to the soup and pack in a bit of protein.
I like to serve this soup topped with a
drizzle of coconut milk to make it look beautiful, but that’s 100% optional.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra
virgin olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 pounds of asparagus, trimmed
and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 15-ounce can of cannellini beans
- 4 cups low
sodium vegetable broth (or filtered water)
- salt and
pepper, to taste
Instructions
1.
Heat olive oil in a
large pot and add onion with a pinch of salt. Saute onion until it is
translucent and tender (not browned) this takes about 5 minutes.
2.
Add in the garlic, asparagus, and beans and season with
a bit of salt and pepper, and give it all a stir.
3.
Pour in the veggie broth and crank the heat to high
bringing everything to a boil.
4.
Reduce to a
simmer and cook for 5 minutes or until the asparagus is fork-tender. Shut off
the heat and let the soup cool for a few minutes before blending.
5.
Working in batches,
spoon the soup into your blender, filling the blender no more than 1/4-1/3rd of
the way up. Place on the lid, leaving it slightly ajar so steam can escape, and
blend until the soup is rich and creamy. Repeat until you have finished all the
soup.
6.
Serve right away! Or,
transfer back to the pot to reheat and serve OR store in an airtight container
in your fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
* I like to drizzle some coconut milk over
the top because it’s beautiful. Super fun if you plan to serve this soup to
friends or family.
*If you want to freeze this asparagus soup
let the soup cool completely and then transfer it into an airtight, freezer-safe
container. This soup will last in your freezer for up to three months.
Defrost the soup in the refrigerator for
12 hours and then reheat it on the stovetop over medium heat until hot.
