I'm excited to share this incredibly delicious creamy vegan asparagus soup recipe with you. It's a light and savory spring soup that's both dairy-free and gluten-free.

When it comes to asparagus, I absolutely adore its distinct flavor.

Pairing this simple vegetable with my passion for creating easy plant-based soups led to the creation of this luscious vegan asparagus soup.

What makes this recipe fantastic is that it's simple to prepare in just one pot. Similar to my dairy-free broccoli soup, it's perfect for batch cooking and can be relished as a delightful main dish, appetizer, or starter.

Key Ingredients

asparagus, olive oil, coconut cream, potato, crushed garlic, white onion and vegetable stock laid out on a white bench top

The complete list of ingredients with measurements, can be found in the full recipe card below.

The spotlight of this soup is fresh asparagus spears. I always ensure to choose spears that are firm to the touch and devoid of wrinkles. After giving them a good wash, I trim off the tough ends and cut the spears into quarters. Frozen asparagus can be used too.

For the creamy component of this recipe I use a combination of potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or All-Rounder, and creamy coconut milk (or any dairy free milk) to achieve a smooth texture. The starch from the potatoes helps thicken the soup, while the coconut milk lends a subtle, delightful flavor without cream. This combination is what I also like to use for my easy butternut squash soup.

To bring all the flavors together, I usually opt for Massel brand vegetable stock, as it's both plant-based and gluten-free. However, any type of vegetable broth can be used, with the salt and pepper adjusted to taste. On the topic of broths, dive into making vegetable broth from vegetable scraps.

Variations

For a delightful cheesy flavor, a couple of spoonfuls of nutritional yeast can be added. I also don't mind a squeeze fresh lemon juice into individual portions before serving for a little zest.

Oil-Free Option

If you prefer an oil-free version, you can water sauté the onions instead of caramelizing them in oil. Do note that the level of caramelization of the onions will affect the color of the soup.

You might also enjoy an oil-free simple carrot potato soup.

Janelle's Tips

Using an immersion blender is the simplest way to achieve a smooth puree, but a regular blender works just as well.

Toppings such as fresh veggies, sprouts, nuts, seeds, or roasted legumes can add a fun twist to this green soup. In the photos I used dry toasted pine nuts.

Other fabulous way to use asparagus is making pickled asparagus or potato asparagus salad.

Storage

This soup is perfect for meal prepping. Simply let it cool down to room temperature, transfer it to an airtight container, and store it in the fridge for up to a week, this is similar to storing my vegan cauliflower soup.

    Delicious! Very easy to make. I added more asparagus and used full can of coconut milk. (Hate to only use a partial can.

      I normally reserve the left over coconut milk to use on other recipes, the extra hit of asparagus would've been nice!

    The perfect recipe for using up late season asparagus which can be a little woody but still so much flavour!

    Delicious. It was 104 here today so I let the soup cool down before we ate it. It was a perfect light supper for a sweltering summer day.
