Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Place the asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season generously with salt and pepper. Toss to combine and roast in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until the asparagus slightly softens.
  • In a large pot, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and sauté until the onions turn translucent, which takes around 3-4 minutes. Now add the potatoes to the pot, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for a few more minutes.
  • Pour in the vegetable broth and almond milk, then bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer until the potatoes become tender (around 20 minutes).
  • Once the potatoes are cooked, add the roasted asparagus into the pot and use an immersion blender to blend the soup until creamy.
  • Stir in the fresh lemon juice and serve with a garnish of chives.
