    Vegan Cheesy Potato and Asparagus Soup

    Vegan Cheesy Potato and Asparagus Soup7

    June is here! Summer is on its way and asparagus season is in full swing. Simple sautéed asparagus side dishes are one of my staples this time of year. A little lemon juice, salt and pepper is my go-to summer vegetable dish. Asparagus season is one of my favourite times of year!

    Last weekend my mom stopped by for a visit, and she was kind enough to bring me a GIGANTIC bag of asparagus from Creston, BC.

    Armed with more asparagus than I know what to do with, I decided on a creamy puréed potato-asparagus soup for this month's Little Potato Company recipe. I usually prefer chunky soups with plenty of textures but for simplicity's sake I decided to go with a puréed soup for this recipe. One taste of this soup and I was pretty sure The Little Potato Company's Creamer potatoes were made specifically for silky puréed potato soups. This is the velvetiest soup I've ever eaten!

    This soup is so simple and easy to make. Sauté, simmer, and purée, that's it! It looks really sophisticated and fancy topped with a drizzle of coconut cream, a delicately flavoured vegetable oil, and fresh cracked pepper. This is the perfect no-fuss lunch for summer guests!

    Just serve this soup alongside a nice loaf of bread. I happened to have a chewy ciabatta on hand but a nice crusty loaf would be oh so good! Vegan butter is optional but definitely recommended!

      Potatoes are such a comfort food, so solid and filling! Can I just omit the cheese, and still have a good result? I live in an area that doesn't offer it....
      Thank you

      Love the fresh flavours here. Potatoes can be fun. I remember eating lots of potato pancakes as a kid

      What a gorgeous soup. A vegan version of poutine would be amazing! All you'd need is some mushroom gravy and vegan cheese 🙂

      Hello there! This recipe looks amazing! If there is one thing I would love veganized, it would be cream puffs.

      Oh, gosh, I love potatoes so much. Whenever I get asked if I could only eat one food what would it be? the answer is always potatoes. They're so versatile. You can bake them, boil them, fry them, make soup out of them, bread, frosting, even make vodka with them. You can have them for any meal of the day including snacks and dessert. They are truly fantastic.
