Ingredients

  • 6 cups water
  • 3 large red beets (peeled and cut into large chunks)
  • 2 " ginger (peeled and cut into small peices)
  • 2 tbsp mirin
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • ½ red onion (chopped)
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 13.5 oz coconut milk (full fat)
  • 1 lemon (juiced)
  • fresh mint (for topping)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. Using a stick blender, blend the soup until very smooth, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. 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.
