notes

makes like 4-5 servings, best served w/ bread

this is basically a twist on a recipe by nasim

directions

dice onion, asparagus, and garlic (no need to mince)

cook onion in oil until clear, then add miso paste and a splash of broth/water or dry white wine if you have it

add in thyme and rosemary (both optional, with thyme more important) and chopped asparagus (ends trimmed ofc) and cook a bit more

blend with remaining broth, coconut milk or cream, parsley, and ginger, altho save a bit of parsley for garnish

put the blended mixture back over stove and add bay leaf then salt, msg, pepper, lime to taste -- if you want save like 1/2 the lime to slice and serve w/ soup

put your bread in the oven!!! cook the soup for like 10-15 mins or until your bread is done and you're impatient.

person who gets the bay leaf has to do dishes :x

enjoy!!
