A Healthy Creamy Asparagus Soup is the perfect soup for Spring. Vegan & Ready in 30 minutes.
Anyone else excited for Spring and the fresh green produce hitting the stores? Or at least we should be, but we’re all kind of bummed by the situation.
We have been safe at home for 27 days now, only going to the store two times. I’ll admit, meals sometimes get creative to stretch the fresh produce we have at home.
But when I did go to the store, I splurged and bought a whole bushel of fresh asparagus to make this healthy Creamy Asparagus Soup.
Now is more important than ever to consume fresh produce to stock up on vitamins and minerals to help our immune system.
And this Creamy Asparagus Soup is not only delicious but also really easy to make.
The important thing is to separate the asparagus stems from the peaks, as the peaks are really tender and take only a short time to cook.
Add the stems to a pot with onion, garlic, vegetable broth, and parsley and cook until tender, then blend until smooth. Cook the asparagus peaks in a pan separately and them just add them to the top of the soup, along with a drizzle of plant-based cooking cream and some bread croutons.
And that’s it! A healthy, delicious, creamy asparagus soup ready to eat in just under 30 minutes!
