- 11
- Serves:
-
6-8
ingredients
- 8 cups water
- 2 lbs asparagus, chopped into 1 inch pieces
- 4 cups cauliflower, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 3 celery ribs, chopped
- 1 small white onion, chopped
- 8 garlic cloves, thickly sliced
- 2 tablespoons dried basil
- 2 tablespoons dried thyme
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dill seed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt and pepper
directions
- (Before cutting the asparagus, be sure to snap off the ends. The asparagus will naturally break at it's "fresh" point. Discard the stumps).
- In a pot, bring the water to a boil.
- Heat the olive oil in another pot over medium heat. Add the garlic, onions and dill seeds. Sauté for 5 minutes or until the onions begin to soften and the ingredients become fragrant.
- Add the celery, cauliflower, salt and pepper. Sauté for another 5 minutes, until cauliflower begins to soften.
- Add the asparagus, basil, thyme and water and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, or until the asparagus and cauliflower are fork-tender.
- Turn the heat off and blend the soup in batches, pouring into another pot over low heat, or use an immersion blender until the soup is creamy.
- Season with more salt and pepper to taste and serve with some warm artisan bread.

Unfortunately, no one in my family liked this soup but me. I added quite a bit more seasoning too. I will be freezing this in individual servings so I can enjoy it alone for months to come. I, for one, am glad you posted this! :) (I may try to add melted cheese and try it on the family again in the future so there is still hope!)

I've been vegan since February of 2005, and I was vegetarian for almost a year before that. I love cooking vegan food. People always ask me, "What do you eat?" or, "Doesn't being vegan make it harder to cook?" Nope! In fact, I've found that going vegan opened up a whole new world of cooking for me. I've tried ingredients I otherwise never would have heard of, and found vegan products that are even better than their non-vegan counterparts. I love creating new dishes and recipezaar has been a wealth of inspiration.
