Soups
For me, there is nothing more delicious than a great big bowl of flavour packed soup. It fills you up, warms you up and gives you a jolly big dose of vitamins and nutrients. This coconut and beetroot soup is one of my favourites- not only because it is the most beautiful and vibrant colour, but it's also incredibly easy to make and a one pot dish.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- Raw uncooked beetroot (600g, peeled and cut in to 1/4 inch cubes)
- garlic cloves (20g)

- salt (1 tsp)
- pepper (1 tsp)

Method
In to a deep pan place the coconut oil over high heat. Once fully melted and hot add the garlic and onion and fry off until soft/ golden brown
Add in the spices and continue to fry off for 2-3 minutes- stirring with a wooden spoon
Add in the beetroot cubes and fully coat in to the spice/ onion/ garlic mix, fry for further 3 minutes
