Vegan Creamy Asparagus Soup

Vegan Creamy Asparagus Soup

I recently made a vegan creamy asparagus soup and it turned out to be absolutely delicious!

To make the soup, I started by sautéing some chopped onions and garlic in a pot with a little bit of olive oil.

Then, I added chopped asparagus and vegetable broth to the pot and let it simmer until the asparagus was tender. Once the asparagus was cooked, I used a blender to puree the soup until it was smooth and creamy.

To make it even creamier, I added some coconut milk and a little bit of nutritional yeast for some added flavour.

I also seasoned the soup with some salt, pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper for some heat.

The end result was a rich and flavourful soup that was perfect for a chilly evening.

It was so good that I even went back for seconds!

I would highly recommend this recipe to anyone looking for a delicious and healthy vegan soup option.
