    Happy 2018 everyone! If you wish to start this New Year with some clean eating then you should totally try this Instant Pot vegan asparagus broccoli soup with all good for you ingredients. This soup is light on your tummy and gluten-free too. 

    This vegan asparagus broccoli soup is delicious and filled with robust flavors and loads of veggies pureed until silky smooth.

    It makes an excellent side to slurp on with your main meal.

    After all the holiday eating we always tend to go back to our soup love . I love to use fresh seasonal ingredients for making soup and this one with asparagus, broccoli and cauliflower is making turns on our dinner table frequently.

    Another strong reason to make this soup is making use of  Asparagus as much as I can . Though it is available in plenty during Spring , my local store carries it almost all year round.  My son isn’t fond of it at all and I really want him to have it. So the easiest way I feel is to hide it in the soup and this trick really works!!He loves it that way. Mission accomplished!

    A little bit of fresh thyme elevates the overall flavor. If you do not have it on hand feel free to use any other fresh herbs. Herbs not only adds flavor but they are also very rich in nutrients.

    For the silky smooth texture without any dairy cream I have used cauliflower and non dairy cashew milk . 

    For some cheesy flavor without added cheese I love using nutritional yeast. It comes with tons of benefits too. 

    If you do not have any above mentioned ingredients on hand make sure you go through the notes for possible substitutes . 

    I have pressure cooked the veggies in an Instant Pot because I love hassle free cooking. Feel free to use a stovetop pressure cooker or cook in a big pot directly on the stove top.

    Instructions for all three ways are mentioned below.

      This soup was wonderful and hearty enough alone for dinner! I used almond milk because that’s all I had on hand. I may have added one more tsp of crushed garlic. Next time I will double the recipe so that I can freeze it. It’s very easy to make. I sautéed the veggies with the onions and garlic as well before I added the broth and almond milk.
