Heat a Dutch oven or large stockpot to medium-high.

Add minced garlic and asparagus. Sauté until asparagus are slightly softened, about 3 more minutes.
Add broth and bring to a boil.
Cover pot and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for about 10 minutes, or until asparagus are fully softened.
Use an immersion blender and puree in the pot or pour the soup into a blender, blend until smooth and return to pot.
Add the cream and heat through. Do not boil.
Stir in coconut milk before serving (coconut milk can be replaced with cream)
