If you find the flavors of raw garlic and ginger attractive then this chilled beetroot soup is exactly what you need. Or if you are Slavic and garlic with beetroot is what you live on.
When it’s so hot outside it’s such a pleasure to take out from the fridge the bowl of sexy, zesty, flavorsome and just so good-looking beetroot deliciousness! Chilled soups are definitely what I’m going to have this summer on a daily basis.
And I’m not kidding, my chilled beetroot soup feels really sexy. The color, the flavor, the character – everything is perfect! Next time I’m thinking of horseradish. Even more straight-forward. Or to make it thinner, add vegan Worcestershire sauce and shot of vodka to create Slavic Bloody Mary! Share your ideas below!
