How to make pea and asparagus puree?
Heat the chopped leek and garlic in the bottom of a pot with a little water for a few minutes. Then add the chopped asparagus (NOTE: if the ends of the asparagus are woody, chop them off, but the final weight should be 450g) and heat for another 5 minutes. Add the warm broth, vegetable milk and peas and cook for about 8-10 minutes until the asparagus is soft. Add the lemon juice, salt and pepper and blitz with a whisk until smooth and smooth. If you are using a blender, let the soup cool down a little before blending. If desired, add coconut cream or Indian nut sauce when serving.
Serve and enjoy!
