Ingreadient

  • 1 lb. asparagus, trimmed
  • 2 Tbsp. coconut oil, divided
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 1-in. piece ginger, peeled and chopped
  • 4 c. low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 13.5-oz. can light coconut milk

Direction

    1. Cut 2 in. off tops of asparagus and set aside; coarsely chop stalks.
    2. Heat 1 tbsp. oil in medium pot on medium. Add onion, ginger, and asparagus stalks and sauté until just tender, 5 min.
