Usually... A few hours after I have cooked something, the recipe is long since lost in the data-base that is my memory. I cannot help it! It probably doesn't help that I seldom cook the same thing twice, buuut you know!
This one however, is easy, it's intriguing, healthy AND it is soup! Look at that colour, so vibrant, perfect for a season when blossoms are springing up from underfoot, and the gusts of wind still nips at your face a little....
Now, you can choose to either finely chop the fruit and vegetables and serve it as a stew or a broth, OR you can whizz it all up either with a stick blender or in your food processor, I did the latter... just to see what colour it would end up being.
Apple & Beet-Soup
(Serves 2-3)
1 tbsp neutral oil (sunflower, rapeseed, etc)
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cooked/roasted/pickled beets, chopped
2 red apples, chopped
1/4 savoy cabbage, sliced
850ml vegetable stock
- Start by heating up the oil in a medium-sized pan, add the onion and soften for about five minutes.
- Now, add the beets and apples, and swish about for a little bit, before adding the remaining ingredients. Pour over the stock and sommer until the apples are tender, it shouldn't take more than about 15 minutes.
- Time to decide! Serve as a stew or whizz up to serve? Either way, you're going to want some good bread for mopping!
Enjoy!
I found the fruity undertones in this lovely, and I love how the beet didn't shine through too much... just enough!
This weekend I was unfortunate enough to have my bag stolen, and so the weekend has pretty much consisted of getting everything sorted with getting new keys cut, cancelling bank cards and the like, such. a. hassle! But sunshine, friends and good food along with music has helped. And the customer service I received was absolutely fantastic. So much support and it definitely makes life a little easier when things like that happen.
Next week better be less chaotic!
I hope you have had a great weekend! Did you get up to much?
Some friends wanted to get rid of a fish tank, and I now have two! Along with it was also a little lost Zebra Danio that has since moved in with my goldfish Seamus and Finnegan, I have named him Pepe, and it seems I name my fish based on the nationality of my current flatmates at the time, haha!

What a pretty soup! Love the color :) I'd love a bowl of this for lunch!
ReplyDeleteThanks June! The colours of beetroot is so vibrant! Hope you have had a nice day :) x
DeleteI'm just starting to like beets, and this soup sounds like something I want to try! Love the color too.
ReplyDeleteOriginally I made this first with three beetroots, that was a little intense as I am the same as you and am only just growing more fond of it :) Accompanied by apple though, this soup has a lovely mellow taste :) Thanks for stopping by Bianca :D x
DeleteI'm totally intrigued by this soup. The color is magnificent!! Wow - just beautiful - with only six ingredients! I love your photos, too.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your bag! That's so frustrating! I hope you didn't have any sentimental valued stuff in there... what a bummer! It seems like you're not letting it affect you too much. That's the right attitude :))
You should give it a bash! I always get relieve when the ingredient list isn't too long, and always surprised at the flavours the dishes hold :D
DeleteOh, and guess who got given her bag back? Some little saint out there had handed it into the police office. Whoever took it first must have just thrown it away whenever they didn't find much of value in it. But I know have two identical phones, one of which is locked, haha :P
When it comes to valuables, life is way more important :) It is when you get things back like this time though, that your faith in humanity grows a little :)
I hope you're well m'dear :) x
Så kjipt med veska di! :(
ReplyDeleteMen suppa ser dødskul ut :-)
Tusen takk Maria! :D Rødbeter er godt, og funket supert sammen med eple!
DeleteEn liten engel fant visst vesken min og hadde hengt den på håndtaket til et av politikontorene... Bare ironisk at det står "Lost is the new Found" på den :P
Håper du har hatt en god start på uken :) Så på bildedryssene dine - kjempefine :D x
Uff så kjedelig med vesken din altså!! :(
ReplyDeleteSå fine bildet! Rødbetesuppe er kjempekjempegodt, og denne både ser og høres deilig ut!
God tirsdagskveld til deg !
Det ordnet seg til slutt! Noen helgener av menneskar hjalp meg, og jeg fikk vesken tilbake :D
DeleteDenne supper var deilig, kanskje den kan laget raw også? :)
Håper du har hatt en god onsdag :D x
Oh no! I have once had the money out of my bag stolen, but they left everything else. I was lucky, but I'm glad you had good customer service!
ReplyDeleteThis soup.. wow. At my place, we eat beets like nobody's business, so this would be a huge hit here :)
Awh, it always sucks when you have things stolen :S Some saints actually found the bag and handed it to the police though, and I got it back - a miracle! But yeh, whoever had taken it had taken the cash, typical! Just glad to have my bag back :)
DeleteBeets! Yesss if you like them beets you will like this for sure :D x
There's still a chill here too! Soup sounds great to me. I love beets!
ReplyDeleteEspecially when they are pickled or roasted :D x
