Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients

  • 6 cups water (or substitute low sodium vegetable broth or plant-based milk)
  • 4 cups fresh asparagus, trimmed and chopped
  • 2 cups chopped onion
  • 2 cups peeled and chopped turnip
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Add the chopped onions, chopped garlic, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and dried thyme to a large pot on the stove set to medium heat.
  • Cook, stirring often, for five minutes or until the onions are softened.
  • Add the chopped asparagus, turnips, and water to the pot, then bring to a simmer.
  • Reduce the heat to low-medium, then continue to simmer for 30 minutes or until the vegetables are fork tender.
  • Add the nutritional yeast to the pot (optional).
  • Remove some asparagus tips from the pot and reserve them to use as a garnish, if desired.
  • Let the soup cool off a bit, then transfer it, in batches, to a blender or food processor, and then blend until smooth (or use an immersion blender to blend the soup right in the pot).
  • Garnish each bowl with a few of the reserved asparagus tips, if desired, and some black pepper, then serve hot.

Notes

  • Store this dairy-free asparagus soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days or freeze it for up to six months.
