This is a great soup for natural detoxification. Fresh Beets support liver function, are full of fiber and are relatively found in all grocery stores. This recipe can make 4 bowls and takes less than an hour from start to finish. Just remember BEETS bleed and stain so wear that chef's apron proudly.
What you will need:
A High powered Blender
2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
2 large organic beets, scrubbed, ends cut (diced for quicker blending)
3 organic garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon grated organic ginger
1⁄2 teaspoon Ground Turmeric
1 teaspoon Ground Coriander Seed
1⁄2 teaspoon Salt
2 cups water
1 can of Coconut Milk (no sugar added)
1 lime
chopped organic cilantro (for garnish)
chopped Dry Roasted and Salted Cashews (for garnish)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Heat a pot/deep pan over medium heat. Add coconut oil, swirl to melt and then add beets. Sauté until limp, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes
2. Add garlic, ginger, and spices; cook 1 minute, stirring frequently
3. Add water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and partially cover. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the beets are fork tender, 10-15 minutes
4. Squeeze one lime and 2/3 of the coconut milk
Then blend until smooth. ( You might have to do this in small increment batches)
5. Return soup to pot for just enough time to reheat it a bit
Lastly, serve into bowls and add garnishments of lime, cilantro and/or cashews
Enjoy!
