Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 1 cup chopped onions
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 2 cups fresh asparagus, chopped
  • 1 cup snap peas, trimmed
  • 1 cup diced potatoes
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream or coconut milk Substitute for dairy-free version
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • optional Fresh herbs for garnish (like parsley or dill)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, cooking until soft and translucent, approximately 3–5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the chopped asparagus, snap peas, and diced potatoes into the pot. Sauté the mixture for another 5 minutes, allowing the veggies to soften slightly.
  3. Add the vegetable broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover, and let it cook for 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  4. Once cooked, take the pot off the heat. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend just half and leave some veggies whole.
  5. Return the pot to low heat and stir in the heavy cream (or coconut milk) and fresh spinach. Allow the soup to heat for another 5 minutes.
  6. Finally, season with salt and pepper to your preference before serving hot!

Notes

Leftover soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3–5 days. For future meals, freeze it for up to 3 months. Reheat gently on the stove over low heat.
