Instructions

In a large pot or saucepan, bring the water to a boil and the beets, ginger, mirin, garlic, red onion, salt, and pepper and cook for 20 minutes or until a knife can easily be inserted into a beet chunk.
Using a stick blender, blend the soup until very smooth, about 3-5 minutes.
Take the pot off the heat and stir in the coconut milk and lemon juice. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour but up to two days. Serve with a swirl of coconut milk and some fresh chopped mint.

Notes

If you can't find mirin a good substitute would be 2 tablespoon sugar + 2 tablespoon sake or white wine.
