  • Step 1

    Melt ghee in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and stir. Cook for about 5 minutes.

  • Step 2

    While onion is cooking, wash and peel potato. Cut into large chunks.

    Remove woody ends of asparagus and cut into 2- to 3-inch pieces. Add to the pot and return to a boil, cooking for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
