This beautiful green asparagus and pea soup is a super fast recipe that tastes fresh and light. It requires only a couple of ingredients and a blender but it’s seriously delicious!
I guess I’m not alone, but this vibrant green color makes me feel so happy! Spring is about asparagus and lovely colors, so this soup is just perfection for me! It’s loaded with veggies and herbs, it’s creamy and super flavorful: minty, herby, lemony, coconutty, sweet and savory. You can eat it warm or cold, and it’s so good with pine nuts, almonds, hazelnuts, sprouts, olive oil and lemon juice on top. Om nom nom….

What a gorgeous soup for Spring Time, love the coconut twist 🙂
Thanks, Emma 🙂
Really nice mixture of ingredients, sometimes I think coconut can be overpowering, in things like kormas but this is just right. Shut your eyes and its spring in the garden.
Thank you, Jenni. I guess it’s a bit of an obsession of mine with coconut nowadays, especially in soups 😉
This is delicious! DELICIOUS!
Thank you, Walter! 🙂
You are definitely not alone – nothing makes me happier than the colours of spring 🙂 Especialy asparagus-green.
Looks like a super delicious soup! I’d love to try it cold this summer. Pinned.
Thanks, Josefine! I have to say I also prefer this soup cold 😉
What kind of coconut cream you use? Is it the coconut milk in can? I would like to make this recipe tonight, but I am not sure what to buy.
Thanks,
Brenda
Hey Brenda,
I use simple canned coconut milk/cream. For this recipe I used the thick, (almost hard) part, to make the soup extra creamy.
Let me know if you liked the soup 😉
This looks sooo tasty! I love making asparagus and pea soup at home! The ingredients work so well together. I love that you added coconut too for added creaminess – mmm!
Thanks, Harriet Emily! Asparagus and green peas are so amazing, love to use them together in soups, salads and pasta! 😉
Oh my goodness – this sounds incredible! I love pea soup, but I’m totally not into all of the heavy cream that is usually used to make it all luxurious and creamy. Using coconut cream is an amazing idea! Pinned!
Thank you so much, Alexa!
I also prefer coconut cream over heavy cream 😉
New favorite recipe! LOVE the herbs in it and the lemon makes it pop!
Thank you, Kate! I’m so glad you write this 🙂
