Of course I don’t use cream in my Cream of Asparagus with Pistachios! It doesn’t need it. The soy milk takes care of that. This vegan recipe is so easy to make: it’s ridiculous! Basically, it’s asparagus and soy milk (and a sprinkle of  pistachios) but really that’s almost all you need in this yummy soup!

Ingredients

  • 8 cups fresh asparagus spears rinsed and cut in half (2 bunches)
  • 2 shallots
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 6 cups organic plain soy milk unsweetened
  • 3/4 tsp coarse salt
  • fresh ground pepper
  • 1/3 cup dry roasted pistachios

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large cast iron dutch oven (I like Le Creuset but any heavy bottom deep pan will do) over high heat, add the shallots and sautée for 4-5 minutes.
  • Add the asparagus and continue to cook, uncovered for another 10 minutes, until just barely tender.
  • Add the soy milk, salt and pepper and simmer covered for 20 minutes (watch out it may boil over so monitor it from time to time).
  • Uncover and cook for an additional 10 minutes or so (a "skin" will appear on top).
  • Stir again, cover again and let cool.
  • Process in a blender until creamy.
  • When ready to serve, pour in bowls and sprinkle equally with the pistachios.

    Hello – Could I use the Cuisinart Smart Stick Hand Blender instead of processing in a blender. Would the soup be just as creamy?
    Thanks for the delicious recipes, I have enjoyed everyone I have tried so far!
    Regards,
