Beetroot soup recipe

February 18, 2015 By Eli Poppe Leave a Comment

Always in a hurry? Make this delicious quick and easy red beetroot soup recipe so you will be enjoying a fresh hot soup in less than 30 minutes.

Makes 4 servings in 20 minutes, originally posted by Eli Poppe, 16th April 2005, Oriental Style.

You can buy beetroot already cleaned and cooked, so preparing this is quite easy to do.

The dish has the most amazing color: deep creamy, almost fluorescent pink. Not sure if the photo does it justice. As a result, it looks quite unhealthy, but of course isn’t; quite spicy but still with a mellow aftertaste. I love it 🙂

One word of advise though, in case you are not used to cooking beetroot: it is quite juicy, and rather colorful, so beware of staining your clothes and cooking equipment…
