    Vegan Cream of Asparagus Soup (GF)

    This Vegan Cream of Asparagus Soup is rich and velvety, nutty and fresh, and super nutritious!

    Vegan Cream of Asparagus Soup (GF)

    With spring just around the corner, I wanted to come up with some recipes using new, seasonal produce, but which would still be warming enough to see us through the remainder of the cold weather.

    Vegan Cream of Asparagus Soup (GF)

    I love this Vegan Cream of Asparagus soup as it tastes bright, fresh and slightly earthy thanks to the asparagus, but is also seriously comforting thanks to the luxuriously creamy texture.

    Vegan Cream of Asparagus Soup (GF)

    The soup starts off by frying together a mixture of onion, garlic, celery and carrot, which gives off the most amazing fragrance. A splash of white wine makes it even more aromatic and adds just a touch of sweetness - make sure you cook it all off to get rid of any acidity and alcoholic taste. If you'd rather not use alcohol, this step can be omitted.

    Next, you add your asparagus, which gives the soup a delicate flavour and beautiful pastel-green hue.

    The creaminess in this soup comes from a mixture of unsweetened almond milk and white beans. If you'd prefer to keep the soup nut-free, you could substitute the almond milk with unsweetened oat milk.

    I love using white beans to create creamy soups and sauces because they become super creamy and add an almost buttery texture. They're also very nutritious, and are a good source of both protein and fibre.

    You can finish off the soup with some fresh parsley, for extra freshness and flavour. I bet a sprinkling of  almond or coconut bacon would be great too.

    This soup is delicious on its own, but to make it into a filling meal, why not enjoy it with a Vegan Grilled Cheese? Or you could go all out and serve it in a bread bowl!

    This soup is perfect for batch cooking as it's easy to cook in big quantities - it keeps in the fridge for a few days, and freezes well too.

      Had some Asparagus cut-offs left over in the freezer from previous dinners, did not want to waste them and this soup made perfect use of these!
      I did add some Vegan Cream Cheese at the end: mixed 2 (big) Tblsp of Cream Cheese with a couple of ladles of soup, mixed this well and then poured it back in the Blender, zapping it a couple more times to get everything mixed well, thanks for this great recipe.
      Excellent as is, love that we also got our Protein with this soup by having the beans in there!

      I just wanted to say thank you for this recipe, Rhian! I made it tonight for dinner and it was delicious! Even my husband, who hates asparagus and never eats it, devoured it. I very much appreciate the recipes you’ve made available. Thank you. 🙏

      A light taste that made it very 'drinkable.' I did tweak it with 1/4 preserved lemon and 1 tsp chili-garlic sauce. Lots of soup to enjoy!
