COCONUT, BEET, AND GINGER SOUP



Coconut, Beet, and Ginger Soup image

There are many ways to make beet soup, the most well-known of all being borscht, the hearty Russian classic that also contains veggies like potatoes and cabbage. Beet soup can be eaten cold, so we like to make it with more delicate flavors and puree it. Here, the ginger beautifully balances the beet, and the coconut milk adds a nice fat component. We find citrus finishes this dish perfectly, so we garnish it with a bit of orange.

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon ghee or olive oil
1 large thumb-size piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
1 small shallot, peeled and chopped
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
3 garlic cloves, smashed
1 teaspoon sea salt, plus more as needed
1/2 cup white wine
2 pounds whole beets, greens removed
1 cup coconut milk
3 cups Chicken Bone Broth
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 small orange, segmented
Finely grated zest of 1 small orange

Steps:

  • In a large pot over medium heat, heat the ghee or oil. Add the ginger, shallot, rosemary, garlic, and sea salt and sweat the mixture for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the white wine and stir to deglaze the pan. Simmer for 5 minutes to cook off the alcohol. Add the beets, coconut milk, bone broth, and white wine vinegar, cover, and let simmer for 45 minutes.
  • Prepare a bowl of ice water.
  • Using a slotted spoon, remove the beets from the pot and transfer to the ice bath to cool. Once the beets are cool to the touch, use your hands or a paper towel to remove the skins. Discard the skins and roughly chop the beets. Return the beets to the pot and simmer the mixture for 10 minutes more.
  • Using an immersion blender, blend the mixture right in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Season with additional sea salt to taste if needed. Serve immediately, garnished with a couple of orange segments and a bit of the zest.
  • Do Ahead
  • The soup can be refrigerated for up to 1 week, or frozen for up to 6 months.

BEET AND GINGER SOUP



Beet And Ginger Soup image

This beet and ginger soup is a snap to make. Many people believe that beets cleanse the liver and that ginger wards off colds, but even if you give no credence to such beliefs, it doesn't matter: this soup is just plain good to eat. I like to make things easy for myself and do no more than blend drained canned beets with additive- and sodium-free broth and grated fresh ginger. The soup can be wonderful at room temperature, or, if you like your soup piping hot, you can heat everything in a pan. But I never do. I just blend and drink. This must be the quickest route to a restoring bowl or mug of something on record.

Beet-and-Ginger Soup With Cucumber image

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds small beets, trimmed and scrubbed
3 tablespoons olive oil

1 small leek, trimmed and chopped
1 clove garlic, smashed
3 tablespoons chopped ginger
3 cups chicken broth
Juice of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Place the beets in a bowl and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of oil and season with salt. Toss to coat. Place the beets on half of a large sheet of aluminum foil and fold over to make a pouch. Seal tightly. Place in the oven and roast until a fork easily pierces the beets, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. Peel off skin and cut beets in quarters.
  • In a soup pot, warm the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the leek and cook until it begins to soften, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger; cook 2 minutes more. Season lightly with salt. Add the beets, chicken broth and 3 cups of water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the soup in batches to a food processor and process until smooth. Then return the soup to the pot and place over medium heat. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, the lemon juice to taste and more ginger if you wish. Just before serving (the soup should not be served too hot; it could even be served chilled or at room temperature), add the cucumber to the soup and stir. Then ladle into bowls and serve immediately. You may serve this with a dollop of crème fraîche.

ROASTED BEETS WITH GINGER



Roasted Beets With Ginger image

I have no idea where Mom found this recipe but she sent it to me and asked me to prepare it for Thanksgiving. We enjoyed it immensely, so much so I'm posting it to share.

Provided by justcallmetoni

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h5m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 lbs beets (about 6 small to medium beets)
1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons finely grated ginger
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Carefully scrub the beets clean trimming off the leaves and the long root tip. Tightly wrap beets in aluminnum foil and place in oven for 40-50 minutes or until the beets are tender and the skin is loose. Remove from oven and cut a slit in the foil to allow the steam to escape.
  • Allow the beets to cool enough so that you can handle them. Trim the ends and peel the skin. The skin should slip of quite easily. If not then perhaps the beets need a bit more cooking. Cut the peeled beets into sixths or eighths - depending on the size of your beets.
  • Heat oil under medium low heat. Add ginger and cook one or two minutes. Keep the heat low as you are looking to release the flavor. If your ginger sizzles or browns, then your heat is too high. Add the beets and cook two or three minutes. Add balsamic vinegar and cook another minute or so. The oil, vinegar and ginger should create nice glaze covering the beets.
  • Serve and enjoy.

CARROT BEET GINGER SOUP



Carrot Beet Ginger Soup image

This soup is surprisingly good. The ginger is very subtle and the color is beautiful. When you want to use up garden produce in the fall, make this and freeze in zip lock bags for winter eating. Full of fiber and vitamins. This recipe is from cdkitchen.com I am guessing on prep time as I pulled the carrots and beets from the garden, etc.

Provided by cookalot 2

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h35m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 medium beets
1 cup onion
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 lb carrot
1 large garlic clove
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
6 cups water or 6 cups stock
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
3/4 teaspoon salt
pepper
4 teaspoons sour cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Peel beets and cut into chunks.
  • Fry onions in oil.
  • Add carrot chunks.
  • Fry for 10 min.
  • Add ginger, garlic, and orange peel.
  • Add stock or water.
  • Slow boil for about 50 minute or until veg are soft.
  • Puree
  • Add salt and pepper.
  • Serve with sour cream.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beets: Look for beets that are firm and have a deep red color. Avoid beets that are bruised or have soft spots.
  • Roast the beets before using them: Roasting the beets concentrates their flavor and makes them sweeter. You can roast the beets whole or cut them into wedges.
  • Use a good quality ginger: Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger. If you can, use fresh ginger in this soup.
  • Don't overcook the soup: The soup should be simmered until the vegetables are tender, but not mushy. Overcooking the soup will make it lose its flavor.
  • Serve the soup with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream: This will add a creamy richness to the soup.

Conclusion:

Beet and ginger soup with cucumber is a delicious and healthy soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. The soup is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. If you like a spicy soup, add more ginger. If you prefer a milder soup, use less ginger. You can also add other vegetables to the soup, such as carrots, celery, or parsnips.
