CREAM OF ASPARAGUS SOUP WITH COCONUT MILK
This plant-based version of asparagus soup gets its creaminess from coconut milk and is complemented by fresh notes of lemongrass. If you haven't used lemongrass before, it is often found now in the produce section of many grocery stores and you can actually cut it into 2- or 3-inch pieces and freeze it for later use. I like to use a plant-based "no-chicken" stock for this because it is almost clear in color, keeping the soup bright green, but any vegetable stock will do.

Steps:
- For the soup: Place a large pot over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the onions, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6 minutes. Stir in the asparagus and cook for 1 minute.
- Pound the lemongrass with a meat mallet or rolling pin until well bruised (to release the flavor). Stir in the broth and lemongrass and simmer until the asparagus is tender, about 10 minutes. Discard the lemongrass and stir in the parsley.
- Turn off the heat and puree the soup with an immersion blender. Stir in the coconut milk and peas and cook over medium heat until warmed through, 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, garnish with fresh lemon zest and the Asparagus Salsa if desired just before serving.
- For the asparagus salsa: Place the asparagus, carrots, radishes and red onions in a food processor and pulse a few times until the vegetables are finely diced but not pureed.
- Transfer to a large bowl and add the dill, scallions, serrano chile, lemon zest and juice. Mix together well, season to taste with salt and pepper and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour to allow the flavors to develop if time allows. The salsa can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Makes 2 cups.

Tips:
- Choose fresh asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are bright green and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are limp or have brown spots.
- Trim the asparagus properly: Cut off the tough, woody ends of the asparagus spears. You can do this by snapping off the bottom inch or two of each spear or by using a sharp knife to cut it off.
- Cook the asparagus until it is tender but still has a slight crunch: Overcooked asparagus will be mushy and lose its flavor. To prevent this, cook the asparagus for only a few minutes, until it is bright green and tender.
- Use a high-quality coconut milk: Not all coconut milks are created equal. Look for a coconut milk that is thick and creamy, and that has a rich coconut flavor. Avoid coconut milks that are thin and watery.
- Season the soup to taste: The amount of salt and pepper you add to the soup will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
Conclusion:
This cream of asparagus soup with coconut milk is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The asparagus and coconut milk give the soup a creamy and flavorful broth, and the addition of fresh herbs and spices adds a touch of complexity. This soup is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, making it a healthy and satisfying meal.
