Fall 5-Spice Soup image

I am a soup fanatic, and found that Chinese 5-spice, made up of anise, fennel, cloves, cinnamon, and white or Szechwan pepper was a great way to jazz-up common fall vegetables.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Yield Makes about 9 cups

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 or 6 medium red beets with greens (about 2 1/2 pounds with greens), stems and greens cut off and reserved
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 medium onion, halved lengthwise and cut into thin half-moons
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
Pinch of cayenne pepper (or to taste)
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3 plum tomatoes, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch dice (about 1 1/4 cups)
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1 3/4 cups homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock
1/3 cup low-fat yogurt

Steps:

  • Cut beet greens into thin strips, and stems into 1/4-inch pieces; set both aside. Peel beets with a vegetable peeler; cut into 1/4-inch-thick matchsticks. Set aside.
  • Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and just browned, about 7 minutes. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add cumin, coriander, cayenne, and pepper; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add tomatoes and salt; cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until juices are released, about 2 minutes. Add stock and 4 1/2 cups water (for a thinner consistency, add up to 5 cups water); bring to a boil. Add beets and stems. Reduce heat; simmer until beets are tender, about 35 minutes.
  • Add greens; cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. Divide soup among six bowls; divide yogurt among servings.

Tips:

  • To make the soup even more flavorful, roast the beets before adding them to the soup pot. This will caramelize the natural sugars in the beets and give them a deeper, richer flavor.
  • If you don't have any Chinese five-spice powder, you can make your own by combining equal parts ground cinnamon, cloves, fennel seeds, star anise, and Szechuan peppercorns.
  • To make the soup vegan, omit the chicken broth and use vegetable broth instead. You can also add a can of coconut milk to make the soup creamier.
  • Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt, a sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro, and a wedge of lime for a refreshing finish.

Conclusion:

This five-spice beet soup is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy beets. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is easy to make. So next time you're looking for a new soup to try, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
