Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 medium celery stalk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the asparagus and trim the woody ends. Cut into 2-inch pieces and set aside.
Step 2
Peel and dice the yellow onion, mince the garlic cloves, and chop the celery stalk into small pieces.
Step 3
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and lightly golden.
Step 4
Add the asparagus pieces and sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes.
Step 5
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender.
Step 6
Using an immersion blender (or carefully transferring the soup to a countertop blender in batches), blend the mixture until smooth and creamy.
Step 7
Return the soup to low heat and stir in the coconut milk, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 9
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm.
