Cooking instruction summary:

Place walnuts in a small bowl and cover with boiling water. Let sit for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, place a medium saucepan over low heat and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Add the onions and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until softened and lightly browned. Add garlic, asparagus, salt and pepper, and cook for 2 more minutes, stirring occasionally. Add 2 cups of water and increase heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, partially cover, and simmer for 12 minutes, or until asparagus is very tender. Drain the walnuts and transfer to a blender or food processor along with the white beans, miso, lemon juice, and water. Blend until smooth. When the soup is done simmering, turn off heat.
