Vegan Asparagus Soup
RFDs Asparagus Soup
I've been going to the farmers market to get my produce ever since I moved to California. Over the years I've noticed a change in the "seasonality" of certain produce, notably strawberries and asparagus. They used to be available only in the spring. But not anymore. The local growers have figured out how to make these items available year round. Shockingly, the strawberries taste like strawberries, not fake looking strawberries with ae pale white interior that I used to get when I lived in New York.
This week, we picked up asparagus. We knew it would be a warm week, and Jane had it in mind to make us asparagus soup. She used the recipe from the Real Food Daily Cookbook

Hi zestycook.
I hope you enjoy. We did.
I love adding asparagus to any soup that starts out with roasted veggies. Sometimes I blend them all together, other times I toss them in afterwards so I get chunky pieces.
Hi Erik,
It’s amazing to me how wonderful roasted vegetables are. They’re usually so much better than any other preparation.
As for our soups, I prefer it when then veggies are blended and the stock is thicker. Jane usually reserves some of the veggies so we have those chunky pieces you mention floating in a “creamy” soup.
