Creamy Asparagus Soup
Ingredients
- 2 bunches asparagus (approx 6 cups chopped)
- 3 cups water
- 1 leek
- 2 stalks celery
- 2 carrots
- 1 onion (2 cups chopped)
- 3 large cloves garlic
- avocado oil (to coat the pan)
- 2 cups bone broth
- sea salt or Himalayan pink salt
- 1/2 cup white wine (sauvignon blanc) (possibly omit on AIP, see notes below)
Instructions
- Peel asparagus on a sturdy surface and cut the ends. Place the peels and ends in a medium pot, cover with water, cover with a lid, heat on medium heat and cook for 15 minutes. Pour the asparagus peels through a strainer and save the water.
- In the meantime cut the asparagus into smaller pieces. Cut the carrots into small pieces, cut the leek and celery. Set it all aside. Peel and cut onion, peel and dice garlic.
- Heat a medium pot over medium heat (reuse the same pot from before). Once hot add enough avocado oil to coat the pan. Add onion and garlic and fry until translucent. Add all the other vegetables, the bone broth, and the asparagus peel water. Cover with a lid and cook for 15 minutes or until the veggies are tender.
- Take out a few tips of the asparagus to save for the garnish. Pour the rest into a blender and puree. Add salt, and pepper, and white wine to your liking. Start with a few tablespoons of wine and taste until you reach the desired taste. Heat up for a couple of minutes. You can adjust the soup to your liking by adding more broth to make it less thick and by adding more or less wine.
- Serve and add the asparagus tips as a garnish. Enjoy!

I did not have leeks but still went through with making it and it was sooo delicious. It was my first time making this soup. Only comment is that using 2 (full stalks) of celery threw me off a bit. I still used 2 full ones which is about 14-18 celery sticks. But the soup was still amazing. I did add some fresh cilantro ❤️
Hi Carolina. Thank you so much for the feedback. So glad you liked the soup. 🙂 So when I say a stalk of celery I am referring to one rib/stick ;). I actually did not know language-wise that one stalk is the whole thing! 🙂 I came across this article, you might find it amusing. https://www.dadcooksdinner.com/a-stalk-of-celery-vs-a-rib-of-celery/
