Simple Beet Soup Recipe

INGREDIENTS

• 1 Leek
• 1 shallot
• 1 head of cauliflower (I used a purple one)
• 2 medium beets
• 4 cups water or stock

STEPS FOR BEET SOUP RECIPE

Dice your shallot and white part of the leeks (after removing the outer layer)

1. In a large pot, saute in oil for 5 minutes or until translucent
2. Chop up your cauliflower and add to the pot
3. Slice the skin off your beets or peel if you have a strong peeler
4. Cut your beets into 4 or 6 pieces and add to the pot
5. Add the 4 cups of water or stock to your pot (make sure the water covers the veggies, if not, add more)
6. If using water, add some salt here
7. Cover and bring to boil and then lower heat and simmer for about 30 minutes until you can pierce the beets with a fork
8. Blend the soup with an immersion blender or transfer to your blender.
9. You can top your soup off with a dollop of yogurt and some homemade croutons if you have bread on hand. 

The color should be strong and warm your heart as it did mine.
