This vibrant and comforting beetroot soup recipe is filled with wonderful flavours.
Smooth and creamy, this beetroot soup recipe is filled with the wonderful flavours of tarragon and ginger. I like to serve it topped with some dairy-free yoghurt, a handful of crushed walnuts and some extra tarragon leaves.
This vibrant soup will warm you up from the inside out.
Sweet with deep earthy notes, beetroots make a hearty addition to a number of my vegetarian and vegan recipes. Beetroots are packed with nutritional goodness which gives this recipe a healthy kick.
How to make this beetroot soup recipe
This is a very straightforward soup to make. Once the vegetables have been peeled and cut into small pieces, they are gently fried in olive oil with some onion, ginger, garlic and tarragon.
The vegetables are then simmered in vegetable stock for around 20 to 30 minutes.
In order to make this soup ultra-smooth, instead of a handheld immersion blender, I use a blender. I have a wonderful NUTRiBULLET Rx Blender and Food Processor* that I reviewed here. I absolutely love it and use it to make smoothies, juices, nut milk, nut butter etc…
A word of caution though when you use a blender to liquidise soup. It is always best to let the vegetable mixture cool down first before transferring it to the blender cup. If you are not careful you can end up with a nasty burn injury as pressure and heat will build up when whizzing ingredients together. A few years ago, my yoga teacher ended up with some serious face and hand burns doing just that. So please be careful!
Once the soup is smooth and silky, you can return it to the saucepan to warm back up and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
Once ready to serve, simply add a dollop of dairy-free cream of yoghurt, some walnuts ( hazelnuts are also an option) and extra tarragon leaves on top. Enjoy!
