How to Prepare Asparagus and Pea Soup [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Chop your asparagus into fifths and finely slice your onions as you like.
Then, add them to a large pan, on a medium-high heat, with the 2 tablespoons olive oil.
Fry them for 4-5 minutes, stirring to avoid burning.
Slice your garlic cloves and chop your celery, and add them into the pan to fry for another 2-3 minutes.
When the onions are golden/translucent, add the peas, water, vegetable stock, mixed herbs, and salt and pepper.
Reduce this to a medium heat, and allow it to bubble and cook for about 10 minutes.
When this is done, remove it from the heat (cooling if necessary), and blend before serving – add any extra seasoning if necessary, to suit you. To decorate, you can top the soup with some grilled asparagus, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and some pepper to finish.
