03 Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C) and spread asparagus on a bare baking sheet. Drizzle with oil of choice and season lightly with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
Step 2

Roast for 15 minutes, then set aside. If making croutons, reduce heat to 325 degrees F at this time.
Step 3

Add peas, vegetable broth and almond milk and season with salt and pepper once more.
Step 4

Heat a large saucepan or pot medium heat. Once hot, add 2 tbsp oil and shallot and garlic. Season lightly with salt and pepper and stir to coat. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until fragrant and translucent. Reduce heat if garlic begins browning.
Step 5

Transfer soup to a blender along with asparagus (reserve some for garnish if desired). Blend the soup until creamy and smooth. Transfer back to the pot and bring to medium heat and simmer.
Step 6

Add nutritional yeast and whisk. Continue cooking until warmed through and simmering, then reduce heat to low.
Step 7

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt and pepper if desired. Remove from heat and add lemon juice.
Step 8

If serving with croutons, prep while soup is simmering by lowering oven heat to 325 degrees F.
Step 9

Add bread crumbs to a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together oil and seasonings and pour over bread crumbs and toss to combine. Season once more with a bit more garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss once more.
Step 10

Spread on a clean baking sheet (or the one you used earlier) and bake or 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Flip/stir at the 10-minute mark to ensure even baking.
Step 11

Serve soup with a touch of black pepper. Leftovers keep covered in the fridge for up to a few days, though best when fresh.
