Instructions

Melt ghee in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and stir. Cook for about 5 minutes.

While onion is cooking, wash and peel potato. Cut into large chunks.

Add potato to the pot and stir in 1 teaspoon sea salt and 4 cups of vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

Remove woody ends of asparagus and cut into 2- to 3-inch pieces. Add to the pot and return to a boil, cooking for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Add soup mixture to the jar of a blender, along with ½ cup canned coconut milk, the juice of half a lemon and ½ teaspoon each of sea salt and cracked black pepper.

Secure the lid on the blend, turn the power on and start pulsing or blending on low. Increase blending speed to high and blend for about 2 minutes, until soup is creamy and smooth.

Taste, adjust seasonings and serve.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Reserve Asparagus Tips for Texture 🌱
Cut asparagus tips before cooking and reserve them; add them back after blending to maintain delicate texture and visual appeal in the finished bisque.
Maximize Coconut Milk Richness 🥥
Use full-fat canned coconut milk and don't shake the can before opening—use the thick cream that settles at the top for an ultra-luxurious, velvety texture.
Blanch Asparagus for Bright Color 💚
Briefly blanch the asparagus (except tips) in boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes before adding to the broth to lock in vibrant green color and prevent oxidation.
Ghee Infusion for Depth 🧈
Toast your diced onions and potato in ghee over medium heat for 4-5 minutes to develop a golden base that adds nutty, complex flavor to the entire bisque.
Finish with Fresh Lemon Balance 🍋
Add lemon juice at the very end after blending and tasting; a squeeze brightens the coconut richness and prevents the bisque from tasting heavy or one-dimensional.
