Ingredients

  • 500 g fresh beetroot
  • 400 g potatoes
  • 1 red onion
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1 small piece of fresh ginger approx. 5 cm chopped
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil for frying
  • 1 litre vegetable broth
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1-2 tsp agave or maple syrup
  • 150 ml coconut milk
  • Topping:
  • 3 tbsp coconut milk
  • fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Start by peeling the beets and potatoes, then cutting them into small cubes. Proceed to peel and dice the onion, and finely chop the garlic and ginger.

  2. Heat oil in a large pot and sauté the onions for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and ginger, continue to sauté for another minute, then add the potatoes and sauté briefly.

  3. Introduce the beets into the pot and pour in the vegetable broth. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, bringing the mixture to a boil. Cover and cook over medium heat until the vegetables are tender, about 20-25 minutes.

  4. Once the vegetables are cooked, add the coconut milk and agave or maple syrup. Blend the soup until it reaches a creamy consistency. Taste and adjust the seasonings, considering the addition of salt, and pepper according to your preference.

  5. Serve the creamy beet soup in bowls and garnish with some coconut milk along with fresh parsley. Indulge and savour every spoonful!
