Instructions
Preparation time | 5 minutes
Total time | 25 minutes
- Clean, crush and chop the garlic. Peel, rinse and then cut the beet into pieces. Prepare a small bowl with the spices ready to ‘throw’ in.
- Bring water to a boil in a kettle.
- Take a soup pan and melt one or two table spoons of ghee or odourless coconut oil and place over a medium-low heat fire. Add garlic and cumin seeds. Stir for one minute. Add beetroot, ground cumin, ground coriander, chilli, salt and black pepper to the pan. Stir for one minute.
- Add boiling water. Taste the water after a minute or two and add spices and salt if needed. Let it simmer together for 25 minutes, until beets are done.
- Turn off the heat. Blend the soup until creamy and smooth, using good kitchen blender, adding a little more water if it is too thick to your taste.
- Cut a slice or two of the German sourdough bread and add to the plate to dip, together with half an avocado sprinkled with a tiny bit of salt before serving.
- Finish each soup bowl with a drizzle of ghee or olive oil just before serving.
Enjoy!
