Yield: 6

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound asparagus
  • 1-2 tablespoons ghee or avocado oil or macadamia nut oil
  • 1/2 onion peeled and diced
  • 1 leek chopped white and light green parts only (optional)
  • 1/4 cup celery chopped
  • 1 tablespoon arrowroot or rice flour or any gluten-free flour dissolved in water
  • 3 cups low-sodium vegetable or bone broth
  • 2 tablespoons full-fat coconut milk (optional)
  • Sea salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped tarragon (or teaspoon dried)

Directions:

  • Cut off asparagus tips and reserve. Discard tough ends (the last two inches); chop remaining stems into 2-inch segments.
  • In medium soup pot heat ghee or oil. Sauté onions, leeks, celery and asparagus stems (not tips) over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
  • Add arrowroot and stir until well blended. Stir continuously for about 1 minute more.
  • Transfer vegetables and flour mixture to a blender. Add about 1 cup stock (enough to help mixture blend easily). Blend well and transfer back to pot.
  • Add remaining stock to pot gradually, stirring out any lumps. Bring soup mixture to a boil then reduce heat and simmer until the soup is smooth and thickened, about 30 to 40 minutes. Stir frequently.
  • Add coconut milk, if desired, for a creamy consistency. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add asparagus tips to soup and simmer 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Add tarragon for flavor.
  • Add meat or tofu if desired to make this a full meal!
  • Serve warm.
