Feeds 2
4 beetroots, peeled and cut into cubes

1 tbsp cumin seeds
1 satsuma with half of the zest thinly peeled
750ml vegetable stock
2 tbsp olive or rapeseed oil

1 - In a deep pan, heat up the olive oil then add the onion. Cook stirring for 5-10 minutes until soft and beginning to colour.
2 - Add the beetroot, potato, garlic, spices and satsuma zest, and cook for a further 5 minutes until the aromas are released and everything is beginning to colour.
3 - Pour in the vegetable stock, bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes or until the beetroot and potato are soft.

Another good thing to do with beetroots is to make chocolate and beetroot cake! It sounds a bit mad but it is good and the beetroot makes the cake super moist!
This sounds great - love the idea of the satsuma in there.
I love beetroot and parsnip soup - a recipe born out of what I found in a friend's garden one Bonfire night...
That drizzled oil is dead arty David :)

Dark pink is my absolute favourite colour. I adore soup. This should be heaven, right?
I haven't tasted a beetroot soup I liked though! Find them cloyingly sweet. Wondering if the chilli and citrus flavours in this soup may help... You've convinced me to try beetroot soup again. Will let you know how it goes.
BTW, loved the first issue of the magazine. :)
hi mate, what a great photo. Keep up the good work!
Hi David, your soup looks really yummy!!! I have awarded you the Halloween Sweet Treat award over on my Blog.

Beets have to be one of my favourite root veggies.The only soup I have tried in the past is Borscht with lovely red beets. I will have to give this a go!
Wow, the color of that soup is superb- so vibrant! Beautiful.
