Soup
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 bunch asparagus, chopped
5 garlic scapes, chopped
1 shallot, sliced
1 bunch watercress
1 tablespoon ghee (optional)
1 avocado
1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped
2 cups hot water
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
Raw Garlic Creme
1/2 cup pine nuts, soaked 2-3 hours
1/2 water
3 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
3/4 teaspoon sea salt

1
In a medium soup pot, heat the olive oil then add the shallot, garlic scapes and asparagus to the pot, sautee a few minutes until the asparagus is tender.
2
Reduce to low heat, add the watercress and ghee, stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes.
3
Transfer mix to a high-speed blender, add the avocado, fresh parsley, lemon juice, and water, puree until creamy.
4
Taste and season with salt & pepper, blend again until well combined.
5
To serve, pour into individual bowls and garnish with chopped avocado, asparagus tops, and baby watercress leaves. Sliced radishes also make a lovely garnish, I dehydrated mine overnight to make crispy radish chips as a topping. For a heartier meal, pour soup over a large scoop of cooked quinoa. Top with a little dallop of fresh garlic creme.
6
Combine all ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until creamy. If too thick, add more water to reach desired consistency.
