Beetroot, Apple and Horseradish Soup

Recipes, Weight Loss Help

healthy_eatingThis colourful soup will be sure to impress when you serve it up. Beetroot’s amazing red hue is unlike any other vegetable.
Earthy red beetroots are a great vegetable to eat when you are trying to lose weight. They contain vitamins A, some B vitamins, C, folic acid, iron and calcium.
They are also low GI meaning they are less likely to affect your blood sugar levels.
This soup is great as it tastes rich and creamy while only using a small amount of yoghurt or light sour cream. The horseradish pairs well with the earthy beets and the apple gives it a light sweetness.

Ingredients:
  • 500g fresh, raw beetroot, cut in half
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, peeled and diced
  • 2 green apples, peeled and diced
  • 1.5L chicken or vegetable stock
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Small bunch of fresh parsley leaves, to serve
  • 4 tbsp natural yoghurt or light sour cream, to serve
  • 1 tbsp horseradish cream, to serve
Method:
  • Heat your oven to 200C.
  • Cover the halved beetroots in foil and place on a baking tray.
  • Cook for one hour or until tender.
  • When cool enough, peel the skin off and chop roughly.
  • Heat a large saucepan over med/high heat and add the oil.
  • Add the onion and cook until soft, then add the apples and beetroot.
  • Pour the stock into the pan, season to taste and then simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Blend the soup with a stick blender or food processor.
  • To serve, mix the yoghurt and horseradish together and then dollop onto the soup. Top with the parsley leaves.
