It's asparagus season and I love to cook with these yummy veggies because they are loaded with Nutrients. Asparagus is a very good source of fiber, folate, vitamins A, C, E and K, as well as chromium, a trace mineral that enhances the ability of insulin to transport glucose from the bloodstream into cells. This soup is the perfect night time dinner when you want to ease your digestive system into rest for the night. If you are thinking about going clean and re-booting your system this is the perfect clean soup to try.
Ingredients:
· 1.5 Pounds of Asparagus, ends trimmed
· 6-7 stalks of celery roughly chopped
· 1 yellow onion
· 2 cloves garlic
· 2 cups of broth (bone broth, veggie or sea broth)
· 1 can organic light coconut milk
· 1 tbs ground cumin
· 1tbs ground turmeric
· 2 tsp sea salt
· Fresh ground pepper to taste
In a large pot over medium to high heat pour 1-2 tbs of olive oil in the bottom of the pot. Add the roughly chopped celery and onion and let simmer with a pinch of salt for a few minutes or until onions look translucent. Next, add the chopped and trimmed asparagus and let the veggies cook down for a few minutes. Add all the spices and then slowly add the broth of choice and coconut milk. Place lid on pot and let the soup cook for 15 minutes or until veggies are easy to cut through. Next, turn the heat off and pulverize the soup to make creamy with a hand held device or a high-speed blender. Once all blended enjoy with a side of fresh tortillas, flat bread or by itself.
