Method

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.

I love this, i powered it up with 1-2 tbsp of nutritional yeast. Did not put yogurt but ate it some seeds crackers. Delicios!

Loved it. First thing i made from this app and was gorgeous. I didn't blend it until totally pureed but left it pretty lumpy. Ate with home made bread. Very filling. Full of goodness

It was good. Sweet without sugar and fresh veggie taste

Ann 1 year 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.

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