Vegan Asparagus Soup

Sunday was a cool and rainy day. Of course the first thing that comes to mind is to make soup. I love to make soups that I don’t have to think about. I’ve made it so many times that my brain and body just know what to do.

Not only is this soup stored in the memory banks but it is also so easy to make. You only need asparagus, onion, vegan butter, tarragon, parsley, veggie broth, and non dairy creamer. The chopping is minimal since you put it all through the blender.

Asparagus is so good for you! It is an excellent source of essential vitamins and minerals, especially folate, fiber, and vitamins C, A, and K.
