Method

Your notes

1

Gather and prepare your ingredients.

2

Place a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over a medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the onion, carrots, celery, garlic and ginger with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring often, until softened and translucent.

3

Add the chopped beetroot, apple and vegetable stock and cover. Bring to a simmer and allow to cook for 25-30 minutes, until the vegetables are completely tender.

4

Turn off the heat. Blend with a hand blender until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

5

Divide the soup into serving bowls. Serve topped with a spoonful of yoghurt and sprinkle of pumpkin seeds.

Mohini Last month

It was good. Sweet without sugar and fresh veggie taste

Ann 2 months ago

Very tasty. Next time, I would make sure I cut the beetroot up a bit smaller to speed up cooking.

Really enjoyed this and easy to make. Gave a serving to a friend who didn’t like beetroot but loved this. I have an intolerance to carrots so replace with both celeriac and parsnip. Both fitted in well.
I had a portion cold when I took it to work and loved that too.
I understand the earlier comment about liquidiser vs hand held liquidiser. I used the later and thought I’d totally liquidised it but there was a few lumps in there (but as they were nice a soft it added to it in some respects).

Made this using fresh ingredients from my garden. Tastes delicious 7 easy to make. I found a food processor better for blending than my hand blender. Wish I had made more to freeze for later.

Rachel 7 months ago

Absolutely delicious! I shall be having this on repeat during the winter months!
