Easy Vegan Asparagus Soup

Easy Vegan Asparagus Soup

Get super healthy! This recipe was developed for a friend who has recently gone vegan. (Meaning no dairy products or meat) But, even without the bit of sour cream, like I usually add, fresh asparagus still makes a wonderful soup. If you’re not vegan, be sure to add 1/4 cup of sour cream before you puree soup mixture in the blender. It makes it extra good!
