Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon olive oil, (divided)
1 medium onion, (diced)
3 garlic cloves, (minced)
2 pounds fresh asparagus spears, (trimmed and cut into 1-2 inch pieces (cut all but about 8 spears))
1 cup diced russet potato ((about 1/2 pound or 1/2 of a medium potato))
1/2 cup raw cashews
4-6 cups vegetable broth
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Coconut milk or another non-dairy milk, (for garnish (optional))
Fresh chives, (for serving)

Steps:

  • Coat the bottom of a large pot with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place it over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until it becomes soft and translucent.
  • Add the garlic and all but 8 spears of asparagus. Continue to sauté for about 5 minutes more, until the asparagus begins to soften.
  • Stir in 4 cups of broth, potato, and cashews.
  • Raise the heat and bring the liquid to a boil. Lower the heat and allow it to simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potato and asparagus are very soft.
  • Transfer the mixture to a food processor bowl in batches and blend until smooth.
  • Return the mixture to the pot. Thin with up to 2 cups of additional broth if desired. Stir in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Reheat if needed.
  • Coat the bottom of a medium skillet with the remaining teaspoon of oil and place it over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the reserved asparagus spears and cook just until they become bright green and tender-crisp.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls. Drizzle with non-dairy milk, sprinkle with chives, and arrange a few asparagus spears on top of each bowl. Serve.

COMFORT VEGAN CREAM OF ASPARAGUS SOUP



Comfort Vegan Cream of Asparagus Soup image

My vegetarian husband had all 4 wisdom teeth out and was on liquids for several days. This was one of the recipes I threw together for him. The "dried herb mix" is a mix of dried herbs I keep handy in a spice grinder: rosemary, bay leaves, thyme, parsley, white pepper, sage, chives, marjoram, basil, oregano. Free free to use any of these you prefer to taste.

Delicious cream of asparagus soup. Perfect for yummy, light dinners.. I serve this soup with gluten-free croutons or toast and finely chopped parsley. You can also refrigerate the asparagus soup for 3 to 4 hours and serve it chilled, but I prefer it served warm.

If you can't find fresh asparagus, broccoli works well in this recipe too. Cashew cream stands in for the dairy and makes a rich, delicious dish. From Chef Tal Ronnen's The Conscious Cook.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

sea salt
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large bunch asparagus, ends trimmed, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
2 quarts vegetable stock (or faux chicken stock)
1 bay leaf
1 cup thick cashew cream, plus more for garnish (Cashew Cream(Regular and Thick))
fresh ground black pepper
2 cups fresh Baby Spinach
baby greens (to garnish, or use chopped chives, or chopped or slivered cooked beets)

Steps:

  • Place a large stockpot over medium heat. Sprinkle the bottom with a pinch of sea salt and heat for 1 minute. Add the oil and heat for 30 seconds, being careful not to let it smoke. This will creat a nonstick effect.
  • Add the asparagus, celery, and onion and saute for 6-10 minutes, just until celery is soft. Add the stock and bay leaf, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 more minutes. Remove and discard the bay leaf. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Working in batches, pour the soup into a blender. Cover the lid with a towel(the hot liquid may spout out of the blender), blend on high. Add the spinach to the last batch and continue blending until smooth. Pour the soup into a large bowl and stir to incorporate the spinach batch.
  • Ladle into bowls and garnish with baby greens(or use chives or beets) and drops of Cashew Cream. Enjoy!
