This colorful roasted beet coconut cream soup is a fusion of Central European and Asian flavors.
It is easy to make and quite filling, while it doesn’t leave you feeling stuffed.
I’ve loved soups since I can remember. When I was little, we lived with my Czech grandparents for a while. Soup is traditionally eaten there as a starter and is part of every warm lunch.
My grandmother who had actually gone to school to learn all the ins and outs about cooking and baking, made everything fresh with local produce.
The love she put into all her creations made everything taste even better.
She was my first cooking inspiration and I would sit in the kitchen with her with my toy pots and pans, imitating her every move!
The main ingredient in this soup are beets. They are rich in important nutrients, such as the minerals potassium, manganese, calcium and iron. Beets also contain antioxidants and five essential vitamins.
They help your body detox, have strong anti-inflammatory properties, support heart health and blood function.
Their earthy, sweet taste makes them a nice addition to salads, juices, soups and sauces.
