Prep Time: 15M
Cook Time: 45M
Total Time: 1H
Serves: 4

Ingredients:

3 medium beets, peeled and diced
5 large carrots, peeled and sliced
1 large onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cups vegetable broth
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Salt and pepper to taste
Sour cream or coconut cream for serving (optional)
Fresh dill or parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions:

Prepare the Vegetables: Start by preparing your beets and carrots. Peel and dice the beets into small, even pieces. Peel and slice the carrots. Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Cook the Vegetables: Add the diced beets and sliced carrots to the pot. Stir to combine with the onion and garlic. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
Add Broth and Spices: Pour the vegetable broth into the pot. Add the ground cumin, ginger, and cinnamon. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let simmer for about 25-30 minutes, or until the beets and carrots are completely tender.
Blend the Soup: Once the vegetables are tender, use an immersion blender to blend the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, you can carefully transfer the soup to a blender to puree in batches, then return it to the pot.
Adjust Seasonings: Taste the soup and adjust the salt, pepper, or spices as needed. If the soup is too thick, you can add a little more vegetable broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls. If desired, add a dollop of sour cream or coconut cream to each bowl and swirl with a spoon to create a beautiful pattern. Garnish with chopped fresh dill or parsley.

Serving Suggestions: This beet and carrot soup pairs beautifully with crusty bread or a green salad for a complete meal.
