Beet Soup With Crème Fraîche
Ingredients
3 tbsp Alligga Flaxseed Oil
1 chopped onion
3 cloves chopped garlic
½ inch grated ginger
6 medium beets, peeled and chopped
1 small apple, peeled, cored and chopped
2 cups chicken, beef or vegetable stock
salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
crème fraîche or heavy cream
roasted flax & pumpkin seeds
leaves of mint
Directions
Heat Alligga Flaxseed oil in a pot over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, ginger and cook until onions become translucent. About 4-5 minutes.
Add chopped beets and apple and cook for 3 minutes.
Add stock of your choice and season with salt and pepper.
Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cook until beets are tender – about 20-30 minutes.
Once cooked, remove from heat, cool slightly and puree in small batches in your food processor or use a hand blender. Blend until smooth.
Return soup to pot and reheat.
Serve with a swirl of creme fraiche, seeds and chopped mint.
