Equipment

  • Cooking pot
  • Blender

Ingredients

  • 4- pound trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces asparagus
  • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 8 cup low sodium vegetable broth or filtered water
  • 2 Chopped Medium onion
  • 30 ounce can cannellini beans
  • 2 clove of garlic
  • Pepper and salt to taste

Instructions

  • In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add garlic and asparagus and cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Pour in vegetable broth or water and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat and let simmer for 10 minutes, until vegetables are tender.
  • Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth.
  • Add cannellini beans and stir until heated through.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve hot with crusty bread or croutons on top.

Notes

  • For a thicker soup, add less liquid or cook the vegetables longer to reduce the liquid before blending.
  • You can also use an upright blender if you don’t have an immersion blender. Just make sure to blend in small batches and be careful of hot liquids.
  • To make this soup vegan, substitute the heavy cream with coconut milk or cashew cream.
  • This soup can also be made in advance and stored in the fridge for a few days or frozen for future use. Just reheat on the stovetop when ready to serve.
