Beetroot Pistachios and Horseradish Soup

The title of this soup sounds a bit weird. But the idea for it was an ALDI recipe. I just pimped it a bit. I was a little too onedimensional for me. A bit more veggies, spice and herbs and I loved the soup.



Beetroot is very earthy in taste. That is the reason not everybody loves it. But the combination with other veggies mellows out the earthiness. Just make sure to were kitchen gloves to prevent your fingers from getting purple. A good veg stock and some decent seasoning helps too. 



Recipe for 4:

500 g cooked beetroot, 1 large carrot, 2 medium potatoes, 1 celery stalk

1 large onion, 2 cloves of garlic, 50 g butter, salt, pepper, piment d'Espelette

700 ml veg stock, 60 ml double cream, 4 tbsp horseradish, 60 g roasted pistachios, 1/ 2 bunch fresh dill

Start with melting the butter and building the flavour with onion, garlic and celery. After a couple of minutes add carrot snd potatoes. Now season.



The veg stock comes next and finally the beets. Cook on medium low heat covered for 15 min. Check if the veggies are done.



Use a blender for the soup. Chop the pistachios and the dill and serve the soup with a bit of cream, horseradish, pistachios and dill.
