Roasted Beet & Ginger Soup
Roasted Beet & Ginger Soup
1 yellow onion, diced
1 carrot, medium diced
2 ribs of celery, diced
1 Tbls olive oil
1 inch of ginger root, peeled and sliced
2 red beets, washed, not peeled
1 gallon, vegetable or chicken stock
2 Tbls balsamic vinegar
1 Tbls chopped garlic
Pinch of nutmeg
Salt and pepper to taste
Quarter the beets, place on a baking sheet and drizzle the vinegar over them. Place in a 350 degree oven for about 20-30 minutes until a knife slides about 1/2 inch in without resistance. Remove from the oven and cool. Once cool the skin should slide right off.
In a soup pot over medium heat, add the oil, garlic, onion, carrot, celery and ginger. Allow the vegetables to sweat until the onions are translucent. Add the stock and bring to a simmer. Add the beets, simmer 10 additional minutes and puree the soup until smooth.
