Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 6 cloves garlic roughly chopped
  • 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 3 pounds fresh asparagus about 3 bunches, washed, woody ends trimmed and cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 1/2 cup full fat canned coconut milk or heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Heat a large soup pot over medium heat and add the oil. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion and cook for 10 minutes over medium-low heat until softened and translucent.
  2. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Stir and cook for another 2 minutes until the garlic is cooked through and fragrant.
  3. To the pot, add the asparagus, broth, water, salt, pepper and dill. Turn the heat to high and bring to a boil. Immediately, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, covered with the lid slightly ajar, for 30 minutes, or until the asparagus is fork tender.
  4. Turn off the heat and move the pot off of the hot burner. Mix in the coconut milk and lemon juice. Allow the soup to cool for 30 minutes.
  5. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup in the pot until creamy. Alternatively, work in 2-3 batches to blend the soup in a high speed blender.
  6. Return the pot to the stovetop and heat over medium for a few minutes until the soup is hot again. Serve and enjoy!

Recipe Notes
