Chilled Beet Soup with Coconut Milk
Chilled Beet Soup with Coconut Milk
This weekend was another time for a stroll on the Farmer’s Market. I recently remembered drinking some excellent beet juice a while ago, so I thought I should try this again. One of the booths had a few beets there, so I picked up a small basket.
After some considerations, I decided to make raw beet soup.
I started by chopping up some beets.
I chopped them up and blended them nicely. And then I found this…Coconut milk!
I blended in the coconut milk and tasted with a little bit of salt. As you can probably tell from this picture, it is not completely smooth. There are still some small chunks. I didn’t mind it too much – our blender just isn’t great. It would probably be really nice if the texture is smoother, though.
Done! 
I put in a fridge to chill for a while, put you could eat it right away, too.
I first read this as “chilled beef soup”. Not only disgusting-sounding, but also not vegan.
Also, what are those cracker things you’ve got with it?
eurgh, chilled beef soup! bääh. em, they’re pita chips(crisps!!). Not sure if they have them in the uk. But they’re very yummy : )
This sounds really good! I love raw beets. Did it end up being sort of sweet? I can’t imagine what the flavor is like.
Yes, it’s a very unique flavour. I does taste pretty sweet, which is why I added some salt. It taste likes beet and coconut. Haha, not very helpful I guess. But I liked the taste : )
Oooh, Fran, this looks delicious! I imagine the sweet beet and coconut flavors would go very well together, and the coconut milk makes the who thing a little less violently red than your typical beet soup. Yum!
Thanks : ) Haha yes it worked quite well indeed, even though it was a rather spontaneous decision. I like your Dexter-beet-soup – it does look so gory! Haha. I only just found your blog yesterday and subscribed right away, it looks great!
