Cream of Asparagus with Pistachios

Cream of Asparagus with Pistachios

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!

Cream of Asparagus
 
Print
Author: Catherine Katz
Serves: 4
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)
  • ¾ tsp coarse salt
  • fresh ground pepper
  • ⅓ cup dry roasted pistachios
Instructions
  1. 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.
  2. Add the asparagus and continue to cook, uncovered for another 10 minutes, until just barely tender.
  3. 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).
  4. Uncover and cook for an additional 10 minutes or so (a "skin" will appear on top).
  5. Stir again, cover again and let cool.
  6. Process in a blender until creamy.
  7. 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!
