1 - 1½lb.Asparagus, freshlarge bunch to equal 4 cups chopped large
2tbspbutter, vegan
½cuponion, chopped
3clovesgarlic, minced
4cupsvegetable broth
1cupplant-based milksoy, oat, or almond milk
Instructions
In a large pot, heat the vegan butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the asparagus pieces and broth to the pot and stir to combine with the onions and garlic.
Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until the asparagus is tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Next, use an immersion blender or transfer to a high speed blender and blend until you achieve a creamy smooth texture.
Return the blended soup to the pot if using a high-speed blender. Stir in the plant-based milk. Heat through on low heat but do not boil as that will cause the milk to separate.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
Garnish with fresh chopped chives or parsley. Serve and enjoy!
