Soup: " Beet me to it"

My heart literally skipped a Beet (insert unsolicited cheesy pun) : I'm accustomed to borscht soup (classic soup in eastern Russia and other centrally located european countries) as my grandmother so diligently served to us grand kiddo's growing up. I wanted to incorporate this beety veggie into my new soup escapade minus the cabbage. It turned out well, quite curry-esque but overall a nice warming soup during the cold (LA) weather. Currently: cozied up enjoying the curry creaminess of this soup. Give it a whirl.






Ingredients: 

3 Beets 
~ 10 colorful carrots of your picking
3 tomatoes 
1/4 cauliflower 
3 golden organic potatoes 
1 cup quinoa 
2 tbs. sea salt 
pepper
1 tbs. dill
1/2 jalapeño 
filtered water
5 tbs curry 
1 can Chickpea

Clean, chop, and prepare all veggies for submerging them into filtered water. 
I like to put in the most dense veggies first as they will take slightly longer to become cooked. Place beets, carrots, cauliflower, jalapeño, curry, tomatoes (peeled) and potatoes first. Add 5 tbs curry, 2 tbs. sea salt, 1 tbs. dill, and some fresh ground pepper. After all veggies are boiled and soft, use a beater and blend. The soup will turn into a puree consistency. Now once the soup is pureed add the can of organic chickpeas and 1 cup quinoa. Once brought to a light boil, serve while hot. Add a sprig of greens on top for garnish. 

Jouir.
