Asparagus Soup
In the spring when asparagus starts to come into season, I can’t seem to get enough. I love it and also love how good it is for you. It’s a great way to cleanse your system and helps with bloating if you are concerned about that. This soup is a great way to change up your asparagus routine. I love that it’s made without the use of dairy to thicken it. I like to eat it while it’s hot. But I’ve discovered that you can eat it cold and pair it with avocado and lemon juice to turn it into a salad dressing the next day. Play around with it and let me know what you come up with.
Ingredients:
1 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces
1 small white onion, cut into slices
Coconut oil
3 cups organic vegetable broth
1/2 a large rutabaga (about 11/2 cups), diced
Salt and pepper
1/2 a ripe avocado (optional)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toss asparagus and onion in light coating of oil and top with salt and pepper. Bake in oven for 15 minutes. Remove and stir around and place in oven for another 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, put vegetable broth in a pot and bring to a boil. Add the rutabaga to the broth and let cook for about 20 minutes. Until soft and tender. When the rutabaga and the asparagus are cooked, add everything to the food processor to smooth into creamy soup. At this point you can add the avocado and purée that too. Again, the avocado is optional.
Enjoy!
