Beetroot Soup

This Beetroot Soup is the tastiest soup I have ever made. I adored it and had the left overs for lunch for a couple of days. The kids liked it but they think my Slow Cooker Chicken Noodle Soup is better.

I based my recipe off a recipe my husband’s Nana gave to me for Borscht. My recipe has only about half the ingredients of a traditional Borshct.

I used my fab Soup and Co to make this soup, but it could easily be adapted to be made on the stove top and I have included instructions for that at the end as well.

Beetroot Soup

Ingredients:

• 3 cups grated beetroot (I used 3 medium sized beetroots.)
• 1/4 purple cabbage
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 onion
• 750mls vegetable stock
• 4 tablespoons sour cream

Method:
1. Wearing gloves (so your hands don’t stain) grate beetroot.

2. Thinly slice the cabbage.

3. Finely chop the onion.

4. Add all these ingredients to the Soup and Co or your stock pot.

5. Crush garlic on top of ingredients and add stock.

6. If using Soup and Co, cook for 25 minutes on program 1.

7. Add the sour cream to the soup and blend for 30 seconds on blender speed 2.

8. Serve!

Stock Pot Instructions:

• If you are using a stock pot, bring ingredients to the boil, then turn down and simmer for about 20 minutes.
• Then puree small batches at a time with a stick blender. Doing it this way you can adjust the thickness of the soup by how much of the liquid you add. For a thicker soup you can leave some of the liquid out.
• Once blended return to the pot and add sour cream. Stir in thoroughly and return to a gentle heat if the soup needs to be hotter to serve.
