This is a really simple and tasty soup to make. If you are short on beetroot you can always add other roots to the broth. If using carrots add a bit of fresh or powdered coriander to really set off the flavour.
Ingredients
- Two Large Beetroots per person
- Half an Onion per person
- 1 clove of garlic per person
- 1 Teaspoon of powdered stock or enough stock to cover the beetroot
- Some sprigs of thyme
- Black pepper and perhaps a pinch of salt
- Cream/Creme Fresh or yogurt
Method
Fry up the onions and then garlic until browned
Coat with stock and add the sliced beetroot
Throw in the herbs and pepper
Cook until beetroot is soft
Either liquidize or leave chunky or use a potato masher to for a
chunky-ish soup
Serve with Cream/Creme Fresh or yogurt and a bit smile
Can be served cold with some cucumber added to the Cream/Creme Fresh or
yogurt.
