Equipment

Large pot
Immersion blender or stand blender
Measuring cups and spoons
Cutting board and knife

Ingredients

1 lb asparagus woody ends trimmed and chopped
1 medium onion diced (about 150g)
3 cloves garlic minced
2 tbsp olive oil
3 cups vegetable broth low sodium if possible
1 cup canned coconut cream
1 tsp salt or to taste
½ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp nutmeg
1 tbsp lemon juice
Fresh herbs for garnish optional

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped asparagus to the pot and sauté for 5 minutes, allowing the asparagus to become slightly tender and bright green.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes, or until the asparagus is completely tender.
Remove the pot from the heat and blend the soup using an immersion blender until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup to a stand blender and blend in batches, then return to the pot.
Stir in the coconut cream, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Adjust the seasonings to your taste.
Return the pot to low heat and warm the soup through, ensuring it does not boil.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

To ensure this soup stays keto-friendly, be mindful of the coconut cream brand as some may contain added sugars.

If you prefer a thinner soup, you can adjust the consistency by adding a bit more vegetable broth until you reach your desired thickness.

This soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
