Creamy Asparagus Soup

1. Rough chop your vegetables. 
2. Heat a large pot over medium high heat. Add in your olive oil. 
3. Add your onions, garlic and shallot and stir until coated in the oil. Once they are fragrant add in your celery. Season with 1 tsp salt, a bit of cracked pepper and 1 tsp garlic powder. 
4. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened. Then add in your asparagus. 
5. Let your asparagus cook for about 5 minutes, until softer but still a vibrant green. Then add in your vegetable stock. Reduce heat and let simmer 10 minutes. 
6. Add in your coconut milk and let simmer another 5 minutes. 
7. Add your soup to the blender, working in batches if necessary. Blend until smooth. 
8. Return blended soup to your pot and simmer for 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning to your tastes if necessary. 
9. Serve and enjoy! I love topping my soup with fresh croutons and red pepper flakes.
