Ingredients for Creamy Asparagus Soup

2 Tbsp olive or avocado oil
12 ounces asparagus (trimmed – about 1 large bundle)
10 ounces fresh or frozen peas (about 2 cups)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium shallot, thinly sliced
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 1/2 cups Almond Breeze unsweetened plain almond milk
1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
1–2 Tbsp nutritional yeast (optional)
1/2 medium lemon (juiced, optional)
For the croutons:
2 cups bread (any kind, cubed)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 tsp each garlic powder, salt, pepper, dried oregano, dried basil

How to Make Creamy Asparagus Soup

Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Spread the trimmed asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss gently, then roast for 15 minutes. Set aside.
If you’re making croutons, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C).
In a large saucepan, warm 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the shallot and garlic, then season lightly with salt and pepper. Stir and cook for 2–3 minutes until aromatic and translucent.
Add the peas, vegetable broth, and almond milk. Stir well and season again as needed.
Transfer the soup to a blender, adding the roasted asparagus (reserve a few for garnish if you like). Blend until smooth and creamy. Be sure your blender lid vents steam to avoid pressure buildup.
Return the soup to the saucepan, set to medium heat, and simmer gently. Stir in the nutritional yeast and simmer for another 5 minutes. Adjust seasonings to taste and squeeze in the optional lemon juice for added brightness.
While the soup is simmering, prepare the croutons. Add cubed bread to a mixing bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together oil and seasonings, then drizzle over the bread. Toss well to coat.
Spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet and bake for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crisp.
Serve the soup warm, topped with croutons, black pepper, and optional vegan parmesan.

How to Customize This Creamy Asparagus Soup for Your Diet

Keto-friendly: Reduce the peas to lower the carb content and add 1/2 cup coconut cream for richness.

Higher protein: Blend in 1/4 cup silken tofu or a scoop of unflavored vegan protein powder.
Lower calorie: Use less oil and skip the croutons to reduce fat content.
