  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into pieces
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or coconut milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat 1–2 tablespoons of olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
