A quick and easy creamy dairy-free asparagus soup made with fresh asparagus and full-fat coconut milk, perfect for a light, nourishing meal that feels indulgent yet healthy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) fresh asparagus, trimmed and chopped
  • 1 can (13.5 oz / 400 ml) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups (720 ml) low sodium vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (or coconut oil)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (optional): chopped dill or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Rinse the asparagus thoroughly, trim the tough ends, and chop into roughly 1-inch pieces. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent and soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the chopped asparagus to the pot and stir to combine. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until asparagus is tender.
  4. Remove the pot from heat. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth and creamy. If using a regular blender, blend in batches carefully.
  5. Return the blended soup to low heat. Stir in the coconut milk and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Warm gently without boiling.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

If the soup is too thick after blending, stir in extra vegetable broth or water to reach desired consistency. Use lemon juice to brighten and balance the flavors. Avoid overcooking asparagus to maintain vibrant color and fresh flavor. Blend carefully to avoid splashes and burns.
