What You’ll Need To Do

Serves: 8 Time: 25 mins ⏱️

Alright, friends, let’s get this gorgeous pink potion going! It’s so easy, you’ll be done before you know it.

1| Throw it all in! Grab your biggest, comfiest pot and add your cubed beetroot, tomatoes, and onion. Toss in the ginger, garlic, veggie broth, bay leaf, and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Now, crank up the heat and bring it all to a lively boil!

2| Simmer down now. Once it’s bubbling away, reduce the heat to medium, pop the lid on, and let it hang out for about 15 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the beetroot is tender and easily pierced with a fork.

3| Blend ’til beautiful! Fish out and discard that bay leaf (its job here is done!). Now, grab your immersion blender and dive right in! Blend until the soup is completely smooth and velvety. (No immersion blender? No sweat! Just carefully transfer it to a regular blender in batches).

4| Make it creamy. Slide the pot back onto the stove. Stir in the olive oil and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. Then, swirl in that lovely oat cream and let it get all warm and cozy for just one more minute.

5| The grand finale! Ladle that vibrant, creamy dream into bowls and finish it off with a generous handful of those crunchy herb croutons. Dive in and enjoy

Easy Ingredient Swaps

No stress if you’re missing something! This soup is super flexible.

For the Beetroot:

• No fresh beet? Use 1 cup of pre-cooked, packaged beets (the plain kind, not pickled!). Since they’re already soft, you can reduce the simmering time to just 5-10 minutes, just to heat everything through.
• Want a different veg? Try 1-2 large carrots instead! They’ll give a similar sweet, earthy vibe and a beautiful orange color.

For the Broth:

• No veggie broth? Water works totally fine! Just add an extra pinch of salt. A teaspoon of soy sauce or vegetable bouillon paste stirred into water is also a great flavor booster.

For the Cream:

• No oat cream? Canned coconut milk or cream is the best swap for that rich, vegan creaminess.
• Not vegan? Feel free to use regular heavy cream or half-and-half. Greek yogurt or sour cream stirred in at the end also works wonderfully (just don’t let it boil after adding).

For the Toppings:

• No herb croutons? Toasted pumpkin seeds (pepitas) or sunflower seeds add a fantastic crunch.
• A drizzle of flavor is always good! Try a swirl of pesto, chili oil, or even a dollop of yogurt.
• Fresh herbs like chopped dill or chives would be delicious on top.

Pro Tip: The best soups are made by making it your own, so don’t be afraid to experiment

Twist and Tweak Ideas

Here are some fun twists and tweak ideas to make this delicious soup your own.

🌶️ Spice It Up!

• Add some heat: Toss in a pinch of red pepper flakes while sautéing your aromatics, or add a dash of your favorite hot sauce at the end.
• Smoky flavor: A little smoked paprika (start with ½ tsp) stirred in with the other spices adds a incredible, cozy depth.

🍋 Brighten It Up!

• A squeeze of citrus: A big squeeze of lemon juice or lime juice right at the end brightens all the flavors and makes the soup taste super fresh.
• Fresh herbs: Stir in a handful of chopped fresh dill or cilantro right before serving for a burst of flavor.

🥣 Make It Heartier (Main Dish Vibes)

• Beans, please!: Stir in a can of rinsed white beans (cannellini or navy) or chickpeas after blending for extra protein and fiber.
• Grains for gains: Add a scoop of cooked quinoa, rice, or even lentils to the bottom of your bowl before ladling in the hot soup.

🍎 Sweet & Savory Tweaks

• A touch of sweetness: If your tomatoes or beets are a bit tart, a teaspoon of maple syrup or honey can balance it out perfectly.
• Apple twist: Add ½ a chopped apple (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp) to the pot with the other veggies. It adds a lovely, subtle sweetness.

🧄 Roasted & Toasty Flavor

• Roast your veggies: For a deeper, richer flavor, toss the cubed beetroot, tomatoes, onion, and garlic cloves with the olive oil and roast at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized. Then, add them to the pot with the broth and proceed with the recipe. This adds a ton of flavor!

The best part of cooking is making a recipe your own. Have fun playing with these ideas

Helpful Tips for Success

🧤 Handling Beets Like a Pro

• Wear an apron (or dark clothes)! Beet juice can stain, so a little caution goes a long way. You can also rub your hands with a little lemon juice after handling to help remove any pink tints.
• Pre-cut to save time: To make this recipe even faster, look for pre-cubed fresh beets in the produce section of your grocery store.

🍳 Cooking & Blending Tips

• Size matters: Try to cut the beetroot into similar-sized small cubes. This ensures everything cooks evenly and gets tender at the same time.
• Blender Safety 101: If using a stand-up blender instead of an immersion blender, never fill it more than halfway with hot liquid. Leave the lid’s feed hole open and cover it with a clean kitchen towel to let steam escape. Blend in batches to avoid a hot soup explosion!

👩‍🍳 Pro-Level Flavor Boosts

• Sauté your aromatics first: For a deeper, richer flavor base, try sautéing the onion, ginger, and garlic in the olive oil for 2-3 minutes until fragrant before adding the other ingredients and broth.
• Taste, then season: Always give your soup a taste after you’ve blended it and before you serve it. This is the perfect time to adjust the salt, pepper, or even add a pinch of sugar if your tomatoes are a little too acidic.

Budget-Friendly Tips

Here are some super practical, budget-friendly tips for making this delicious soup without breaking the bank.

🛒 Smart Shopping Tips

• Buy in Bulk: Grab beets and onions from the loose bin instead of pre-bagged. You can buy exactly what you need for this recipejust one beet and one onion!
• Canned Beets Work Too! In a pinch, you can use a can of plain, sliced beets (not pickled!). Just drain and rinse them. Since they’re already cooked, you’ll only need to simmer the soup for about 5-10 minutes to heat through and combine the flavors.
• Broth Hack: No veggie broth? No problem! Use water and add a teaspoon of soy sauce or a spoonful of vegetable bouillon paste or powder. It adds that savory depth you’re looking for.
• DIY Croutons: Skip the store-bought herb croutons. If you have any stale bread lying around, cube it, toss it with a little olive oil, dried herbs (like Italian seasoning), and salt, and toast it in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 10-15 minutes. Way cheaper and just as crunchy!

🧄 Ingredient Stretching & Swaps

• Cream Swap: Oat cream can be pricey. Canned coconut milk is often a more affordable dairy-free option. If you’re not vegan, a splash of regular milk or even a spoonful of sour cream thinned with a little water works great too.
• Spice Savings: If you don’t have a fresh bay leaf, you can use a pinch of dried thyme or oregano instead. The flavor will be slightly different but still delicious.
• Ginger & Garlic: For the longest shelf life and best value, buy fresh ginger root and whole garlic bulbs. They last for weeks and can be used in a million other recipes.

♻️ Reduce Waste & Repurpose

• Save Your Scraps! Those onion skins, tomato ends, and herb stems? Toss them in a freezer bag. Once the bag is full, you can use them to make your own free vegetable broth it’s basically free flavor!
• Double the Batch: This soup is perfect for doubling. Making a huge pot costs just a little more but gives you lunches or dinners for the whole week, which saves you from ordering takeout later.
• Freeze for Later: This soup freezes beautifully (just hold the cream and add it fresh when reheating). A ready-made homemade meal in the freezer is a huge win for your future self and your wallet on a busy night.

Making delicious food doesn’t have to be expensive. A little creativity goes a long way

Serving Ideas

Here are some fun and delicious serving ideas to make your bowl of soup a full meal or a fancy starter.

🥪 For a Cozy Lunch or Light Dinner:

• The Classic Combo: You can’t go wrong with a grilled cheese sandwich for dipping. Try sourdough with cheddar for the ultimate comfort food experience.
• Big Green Sidekick: Serve it alongside a simple side salad with a tangy vinaigrette. The crisp, fresh greens are the perfect contrast to the warm, creamy soup.
• The Best Bread Basket: A thick slice of crusty bread, a warm dinner roll, or even some soft naan or pita bread is perfect for sopping up every last drop.

🎉 For a Fancy Starter (Dinner Party Vibes):

• Elegant Swirl: Add a beautiful drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, creamy yogurt, or a swirl of pesto right on top right before serving.
• Fresh Herb Finish: A sprinkle of chopped fresh dill, chives, or parsley adds a pop of color and a burst of fresh flavor.
• Crunchy Toppings: Go beyond croutons! Try toasted pumpkin seeds (pepitas), sunflower seeds, or homemade crispy chickpeas for a delicious texture.

🍽️ To Make It a Hearty Main Course:

• Protein Power: Add a can of drained and rinsed white beans or chickpeas to the soup when you add the broth for extra staying power.
• Grain Gain: Place a scoop of cooked quinoa, rice, or farro in the bottom of your bowl before ladling the hot soup over it.
• The Ultimate Bowl: Top it like a pro! Add a soft-boiled egg, some sautéed greens (like spinach or kale), and those crunchy croutons for a restaurant-worthy meal at home.

Storage & Reheating Tips

Here are some clear and practical storage and reheating tips for your Creamy Beetroot Tomato Soup…

Storing Your Soup Like a Pro

• Let It Cool: Always let the soup cool down to room temperature before storing it. Don’t put a hot pot directly in the fridge!
• Airtight is Right: Transfer the cooled soup to an airtight container. This keeps it fresh and prevents it from absorbing other odors from your fridge.
• Fridge Life: Your soup will stay delicious in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
• Freezer Friendly: This soup freezes beautifully! Pour it into freezer-safe bags or containers, leaving a little space for expansion. It will keep its best quality for up to 3 months.
  • Pro Tip: For the creamiest results after freezing, leave out the oat cream. Freeze the plain blended soup, then stir in the fresh cream when you reheat it.

Reheating for Best Results

On the Stovetop (Recommended):

1. Pour the soup into a pot.
2. Warm it over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until it’s heated through. If it’s too thick, just stir in a little splash of water or vegetable broth to get it back to your perfect consistency.

In the Microwave:

1. Place a single portion in a microwave-safe bowl.
2. Cover it with a lid or a paper towel to prevent splatters.
3. Heat on high in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until hot.

Reheating from Frozen:

• Thaw First (Best Method): The easiest way is to move the container from the freezer to the fridge the night before you want to eat it. Then, reheat it on the stovetop.
• In a Pinch: You can defrost it in the microwave using the defrost setting and then reheat it. Just be sure to stir it well to avoid hot spots.

Remember: Always give your soup a good stir after reheating and taste it you might want to add a tiny pinch of salt or pepper to wake all the flavors back up!
