A vibrant, nourishing, aromatic super delicious soup with 100% spring vibes
Equipment
- Blender
Ingredients
- 1 bunch asparagus fresh
- 1 green apple chopped- (do not peel - keep that fiber intact)
- 2 celery stalks chopped
- 1/2 cup green peas - frozen
- 10 mint leaves use a bit more if mint is your favorite
- 12-15 pistachios optional -can skip if nut allergy
- 1/2` white or yellow onion chopped
- 1 jalapeno sliced deseed it , if you cannot deal with spice
- 2 garlic cloves
- 24 oz vegetable broth
- salt to taste
- black pepper powder to taste
Instructions
- Leave 3-4 asparagus intact for garnish. Remove the very hard bottom part of asparagus stalk and chop the rest of it into small cylinders. You DONOT have to be perfect or cut them too small. Have the rest of your veggies chopped and ready too. Medium chunks are ok as we will cook them and blend them.
- In a soup pot, add 2-3 tbsp broth (or spray of oil if using), and once hot, add the garlic cloves. Follow it with onions, jalapeno pieces, pistachios. Saute for 2 min. Then add the green apple pieces, chopped celery stalks, asparagus. Let them cook for 4-5 min. Then add the frozen peas, and mint leaves. Mix well. Add about 1 cup broth at this stage and let the ingredients cook with lid on for 8 min.Now add the spices per your taste. I like to keep this one simple with just salt, pepper. Add a touch of lime juice.
- Now move all ingredients to blender and blitz into a smooth paste.
- Get the blended soup into the pot again. Add the rest of the broth to the pot. Let it simmer for 6-8 min.
- Serve it hot with roasted asparagus stalks and peas on the top. Yumm..!!
