How to make Coconut Asparagus Soup
- Prepare the vegetables
Finely chop the onion, mince the garlic, slice the cremini mushrooms, and cut the asparagus into 1-inch pieces, trimming off any woody ends.
- Sauté the vegetables
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, mushrooms, and asparagus and cook for 4–5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and green curry paste, cook for 30–60 seconds
- Simmer the soup
Pour in the vegetable stock and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook covered for 10–12 minutes, until the asparagus is tender. Remove from heat and blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender or carefully transfer to a countertop blender.
- Add coconut milk
Return the soup to low heat and stir in the coconut milk. Warm gently without boiling. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then stir in the lime juice just before serving.
Storage
Store the Coconut Asparagus Soup by allowing it to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Refrigerate the soup for up to 4 days to maintain its fresh flavor and creamy texture. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally and adding a splash of broth or water if needed to loosen the soup. Freeze in portions for up to 2 months, then thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
