Creamy Roasted Beet Soup Recipes

CREAMY ROASTED BEET SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk together 4 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, date syrup/agave, salt, berbere, cinnamon, and ginger and divide the mixture to use half on roasted vegetables and the other half in the soup.
• Add carrots and beets to the baking sheet, drizzle with half of the oil and spice mixture and toss to coat evenly. Roast for 20-25 minutes until softened. If any are not cooked all the way through, they will finish cooking in soup pot.
• While the veggies are roasting, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large stock pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring a few times, for 5-6 minutes. Then add the garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes.
• Add the chopped potatoes to the onion and garlic mixture with the other half of the oil blend, stir potato onion mixture well to coat. Cook, stirring a few times for 6-7 minutes.
• Add the roasted carrots and beets to the pot with the vegetable broth. Bring the soup to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until potatoes are fork-tender.
• Add the creamer to the pot and stir well to combine. Let the soup cool a bit, and then puree with an immersion blender or regular blender.
• Serve topped with a drizzle of dairy free creamer, yogurt or olive oil, chopped fresh herbs of choice, pomegranate seeds, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. You could also serve the soup with rice or quinoa and top with a protein of your choice, such as crispy tofu or crispy chickpeas.

CREAMY ROASTED BEET SOUP

Steps:

• In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Sauté the onions for about 5 minutes until tender but not browned.
• At this point if you have an immersion blender, continue to make the soup in the pot. Add beets, broth, lemon juice, honey, thyme, salt and pepper. If you need to simmer the mixture until the beets soften a bit more, go ahead and do that. When the beets are very tender stick the blender in and blend away until smooth. If you want to continue with a food processor or blender, great - scrape the onions into a the machine of your choice, then add the beets, 1 cup of the broth, juice, honey, thyme and salt and pepper and puree until smooth. Return the mixture to the pot and add the rest of the broth.
• Either way, after the mixture is back in the pot, you add the cream and heat over medium-low heat until the whole thing is hot. Or if you would like to serve it cold, just stir in the cream and chill the soup for a few hours.
• Serve the soup in mugs or bowls with the chopped onion and sour cream.
