Vegan Cream of Asparagus Soup image

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!

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I would add more seasoning next time.

This soup was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I would use less coconut milk next time.
