Follow The Directions

01

Step

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, combine coconut oil and diced onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes soft and translucent (about 5 minutes). Stir in the minced garlic, salt, rosemary, thyme, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, allowing the fragrances to bloom. (Total time: 6-7 minutes)

02

Step

Incorporate Asparagus: Add the trimmed and chopped asparagus to the pot. Cook and stir over medium heat for about 5 minutes, ensuring the asparagus is lightly coated with the aromatic mixture. (Total time: 5 minutes)

03

Step

Simmer to Perfection: Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the raw cashews, vegetable broth, and coconut milk. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then cover the pot. Allow the soup to simmer until the asparagus is tender and easily pierced with a fork, approximately 7 to 10 minutes. (Total time: 7-10 minutes)

04

Step

Finish and Cool: Turn off the heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice. Allow the soup to stand and cool slightly before proceeding to the next step. (Total time: 5 minutes)

05

Step

Blend to Velvety Smoothness: Using an immersion blender, carefully puree the asparagus soup until it reaches a completely smooth and creamy consistency. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup to a regular blender in batches, being cautious of the hot liquid. (Total time: 2-3 minutes)

06

Step

Garnish and Serve: Ladle the Vegan Cream of Asparagus Soup into bowls. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm, and enjoy! (Total time: 1 minute)

For a richer flavor, try roasting the asparagus before adding it to the soup.
If you don't have fresh herbs, dried herbs can be substituted. Use about 1/2 teaspoon of each.
To make this soup nut-free, replace the cashews with sunflower seeds or omit them altogether. The soup will still be creamy thanks to the coconut milk.
Adjust the amount of vegetable broth to achieve your desired consistency. For a thicker soup, use less broth.
