Ingredients
- 600 grams asparagus
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the asparagus thoroughly under cold water. Cut off and discard the woody ends, then slice the stalks into 1-inch pieces.
Step 2
Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic cloves.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Step 4
Add the chopped asparagus to the pot and sauté for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 5
Pour in the vegetable broth, then bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender.
Step 6
Allow the soup to cool slightly. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, blend in batches using a countertop blender, ensuring the lid is vented to prevent pressure buildup.
Step 7
Return the pureed soup to the pot. Stir in the almond milk, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Cook over low heat for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve warm, garnished with a drizzle of almond milk or a pinch of freshly cracked black pepper, if desired.
