Ingredients
∙ 1 organic red onion
∙ 1/4 organic fennel bulb
∙ 2 organic leek leaves
∙ 4-5 organic garlic cloves
∙ 2 organic red beets
∙ 1-2 organic celery stalks
∙ handful of organic Italian parsley
∙ 2 tbsp of organic extra virgin olive oil
∙ 3-4 large organic tomatoes
∙ 1/4 cup of organic/natural coconut cream
∙ sea salt
∙ organic black pepper
∙ organic cayenne pepper
∙ 1 organic avocado
Preparation
- Chop onion, fennel, leek and garlic. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- Peel and dice red beets. Set aside.
- Chop celery and parsley. Set aside.
- In a small frying pan, add olive oil and lightly fry onions, fennel and garlic with beets at low heat for 2-3 minutes. This will give the onions and garlic a milder flavor and also lightly soften the beets for blending.
- Chop tomatoes, add to a blender with coconut cream and blend (or a mixing bowl, using a hand blender).
- Add all remaining ingredients (except avocados) and blend together with tomatoes.
- Transport blended ingredients to a large bowl.
- Stir for about 1-2 minutes. Then add spices (add olive oil if you did not fry onions and garlic). Stir well for another minute or so.
- Let soup sit for at least 10-15 minutes. You can use this time to prep the rest of your dinner.
- Once soup has ‘marinated’, pour evenly into bowls.
- Peel avocado and cut in slices or pieces.
- Add avocado to bowls (distribute evenly).
- Serve and enjoy!
