Instructions

1. Begin by washing the asparagus and potatoes thoroughly. Chop the asparagus into 2-inch pieces, discarding the tough ends. Peel the potatoes and dice them into small cubes.
2. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the diced onions. Sauté until translucent.
3. Add the minced garlic to the pot and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
4. Pour in the vegetable stock and stir well. This Vegan Asparagus and Potato Soup already smells amazing!
5. Add the chopped asparagus and potato cubes to the pot. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Let the soup simmer for about 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft and easily mashed.
7. Once the potatoes are soft, use an immersion blender or a regular blender to puree the soup until smooth.
8. Return the soup to the pot if using a regular blender. Stir in the lemon juice for a hint of zesty freshness.
9. Adjust seasoning if needed and heat the Vegan Asparagus and Potato Soup until it’s perfectly warm.

Tips

1. To enhance the creaminess of your Vegan Asparagus and Potato Soup without adding dairy, you can blend in a handful of soaked cashews or add a splash of coconut milk.
2. If the asparagus stems are particularly thick, it’s a good idea to peel the bottom third to ensure they’re not too fibrous in the soup.
3. If you desire a chunkier texture, blend the soup only partially or set aside some potato cubes before blending and add them back after.

Serving Suggestions

• Pour the Vegan Asparagus and Potato Soup into individual bowls.
• Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
• A slice of crusty whole grain bread or a side salad complements this soup perfectly.
• Consider a sprinkle of nutritional yeast or vegan parmesan for an added cheesy flavor without the dairy.
