Ingredients
- 2 medium beets, peeled and diced
- 1 large apple, peeled, cored, and diced (preferably a tart variety)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the diced beets with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them on a baking sheet. Roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until tender.
- In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent.
- Add the roasted beets and diced apple to the pot along with the ginger, and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes.
- Remove from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup.
- Stir in the coconut milk and season with salt and pepper to taste. Reheat gently if needed.
- Serve hot, drizzling the coconut cream on top for a beautiful swirl, and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley.
