Instructions
Making Cream of Spring Vegetable Soup is straightforward. Follow these steps for a delicious result:
1. Heat Oil: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Add Broth: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
4. Add Vegetables: Stir in the peas, asparagus, carrots, and potatoes. Bring back to a boil.
5. Simmer: Reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
6. Blend: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup.
7. Add Cream: Stir in the heavy cream (or coconut milk) and season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat through for another 5 minutes.
8. Garnish: Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs for added flavor and color.
These steps will guide you to create a delightful and flavorful soup that embodies the spirit of spring!
