Directions
This creamy asparagus and potato soup is pure comfort food!
I love making soup. It’s usually pretty easy, packed with vegetables, flavor and very filling.
Soup is also a great way to use up leftovers. In this recipe, asparagus and potato are used.
The green asparagus gives this soup it’s beautiful green color and the potato adds the creamy consistency.
For an added level of creaminess, I am adding plant cream. You can also use full-fat coconut milk or heavy cream.
Since I like keeping it lactose free but still love a cheesy element in this soup, grated parmesan is great. You can use vegan or regular.
Hard cheeses, like cheddar and parmesan, as well as matured cheeses such as brie, camembert and feta contain virtually no lactose because of the way they are made.
If you want to keep it fully vegan and don’t care for vegan cheese, nutritional yeast is also a great addition for a bit of a cheesy flavor.
Nutritional yeast can be used to add extra protein, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
Studies suggest that nutritional yeast may help protect against oxidative damage, lower cholesterol and boost immunity.
This soup is made in one pot then blended until creamy. It doesn’t get easier than that!
