Vegan Low Carb Asparagus Soup | Keto Recipe

While I am an omnivore, I have found that I am eating more and more meat-free meals these days because they are just so delicious and I am not in need of so much protein. This one in particular is a vegan low carb asparagus soup, which has all of the traits of an amazing keto-friendly meal, plus the added bonus of being nut-free AND vegan, which is a hard combination to come by. Enjoy!

The night before, I had made some Tikka Masala Chicken, and put aside come of the cream sauce before adding in the protein, which goes really well as a garnish for this soup. Adds a great amount of heat and creaminess, and looks amazing! That’s where I used the other half of the coconut milk can as part of my low-waste meal planning. *If you’re not a fan of coconut (or allergic) and aren’t vegan, I highly recommend trying this recipe using butter and heavy cream (35%) for an even thicker, creamier delicacy.
