Ingredients

  • 3 medium-sized beets, peeled and diced
  • 2 large apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 cups of vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
  • A dollop of plain yogurt or a splash of coconut milk for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by peeling and dicing the beets and apples. Chop the onion and mince the garlic.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add Beets and Apples: Stir in the diced beets, apples, and grated ginger. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  4. Season the Soup: Add the ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the spices.
  5. Simmer: Pour in the vegetable broth, bringing the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the soup simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the beets are tender.
  6. Blend the Soup: Once cooked, remove the pot from heat. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can blend the soup in batches using a countertop blender. Be sure to allow the soup to cool slightly before blending.
  7. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If desired, add a dollop of yogurt or a splash of coconut milk for creaminess.
  8. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm and enjoy!
