Chives and Creamy Asparagus Soup

This creamy asparagus soup is a quick and easy way to get your daily dose of vegetables. It's made with just a few simple ingredients, and it's packed with flavor. The chives add a bright, fresh flavor, and the coconut cream gives the soup a rich, creamy texture. This soup is perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also a great way to use up leftover asparagus.

I first developed this recipe when I was looking for a way to use up some leftover asparagus. I had tried roasting it, grilling it, and sautéing it, but I was looking for something different. I decided to try making a soup, and I was so glad I did. This soup is so easy to make, and it's absolutely delicious. My husband and kids love it, and I've even served it to guests. I've found that it's a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family does.
