Servings:
Ingredients
  • 7 medium golden beets, peeled and cubed
  • 7 cup water (you may need more)
  • 2 leeks, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, chopped
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon coriander
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • green onion, chopped, for garnish
  • cream for drizzling, to garnish (optional)
Directions
  1. In a large pot on medium heat, add the olive oil and throw in the leeks, onions, ginger, salt and beets. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until the ingredients sweat, but do not let them brown. Add the water and boil over medium heat until the beets soften, about 1 hour. If the water starts to dry out, add some more in 1 cup increments.
  2. Carefully blend all the ingredients in the blender. Do it in batches to prevent burning or injury. Pour the blended soup back into the pot and add salt, pepper, and coriander. Taste for seasoning, and make the necessary corrections
  3. Garnish with chopped green onions and a drizzle of cream.
