Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds fresh asparagus trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F and toss half the asparagus pieces with olive oil on a baking sheet. Roast for 12-15 minutes until lightly caramelized.
  2. In a large pot, sauté the diced onion over medium heat with a splash of broth for 5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
