Only the pure at heart can make a good soup.
Ludwig van Beethoven
But this
red soup is made of beetroot, not tomatoes. Just two beetroots and other
vegetables too, which being of a more inoffensive colour, disappear in the
soup.
However, it is a
very tasty soup, not to mention invigorative too. Beets are a very good source
of potassium that regulates blood pressure, and vitamin C an antioxidant
that works against free roots, against cholesterol, heart disease and other evil
things.
If
you stll think red food is not food, thin it with some cream or soy milk or yogurt. That way it’ll turn pink. Pink is good.
Try eating it while listening to Beth Orton’s “Comfort of Strangers”.
You'll need:
- 2 beetroots scrubbed
- 2 potatoes scrubbed
- 3 carrots scrubbed
- 6 walnuts,
finely processed
- 2 tbs oil
- 1 tsp
nutmeg
- Vegetable stock
- Salt –
pepper
Heat olive
oil, add nutmeg, vegetable puree (it’s red!) and a glass of vegetable stock and
let it simmer for 5 minutes so that everything is combined. Adding more stock
depends on how thick or thin you want your soup. Alternatively, you can thin it
with some yogurt or milk or soy milk. Sprinkle with some walnuts.
