• 2 garlic cloves, pressed
• 1/4 yellow onion
• 1 bunch asparagus, chopped
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/4 cup cream, optional for vegans
• 1 potato, peeled & diced
• 1 vegetable bouillon cube
• 1/2 teaspoon mixed herbs, crushed dried
• kosher salt

1. In one pot on medium heat, add 3 cups of water & stir in bouillon until dissolved.
2. Bring soup pot to a boil, add potatoes and reduce heat to low boil.
3. In a skillet or saute pan on medium heat, add the olive oil, garlic & onions.
4. When onions are almost translucent, add the asparagus & herb mix and saute until just soft.
5. Add the asparagus mixture to the soup pot and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
6. Remove from heat and blend soup to desired consistency.
7. If using a standalone blender, return pureed soup to pot and warm over low heat. If using an immersion blender in soup pot, feel free to skip this step.
