Asparagus Sipping Soup
This make-ahead sipping soup is that perfect snack that will hold your appetite over until dinnertime. This is an ideal sipping snack to make on the weekends, refrigerate in canning jars with lids, and enjoy as a snack during the workweek.
ONWARD:
As a snack should do, the healthy ingredients come together creating a tasty, filling mouthful. The bone broth and collagen powder create a protein base. The coconut milk and olive oil add beneficial fats essential to a keto or low-carb diet. Leeks and asparagus add wholesome carbs. And of course, ginger and pimentón deliver a tasty hit. What a great way to curb those hunger pains!
6 servings
INGREDIENTS:
2 tablespoon Gaea extra virgin olive oil with garlic
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely grated
½ cup leeks, white and pale greens chopped
½ teaspoon pimentón dulce (smoked paprika)
1 teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
6 ounces asparagus (about 1 bunch), chopped
3 cups chicken sipping bone broth
½ cup full-fat coconut milk
2 tablespoons collagen powder
DIRECTIONS:
Heat the oil in a saucepot until it shimmers. Add the ginger and leeks. (In this step the oil will be infused with the aromatics flavor.) Sauté until softened, about three minutes. Add the salt, pepper, pimentón, asparagus, and bone broth. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer until the asparagus is very tender, about fifteen to twenty minutes. Stir in the coconut milk, collagen powder and melt. Remove from the heat. (Cool for a few minutes before blending to protect against splashing hot soup.)
Blend in a blender or with an emersion blender until smooth. Serve hot or chilled.
