Weekly Recipe Round-Up: Roasted Golden Beet Soup
The top dishes this week were my NYC Smoked Salmon “Everything Bagel” Penne and Roasted Golden Beet Soup. You can find my Penne recipe here (https://gesundheitsfakten2.org/smoked-salmon-pasta/%3C/a%3E%29, and my soup recipe below.
This sunny soup is a perfect way to warm up in this seemingly never ending winter! Beets contain Betalains, a unique source of phytonutrients that help provide anti-inflammatory and detoxification support as well as antioxidants. The fennel gives the soup a touch of mellow sweetness and its own special blend of nutrients and immune support. Throw in a piece of crusty bread and you’re good to go! Woo hoo! Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1 pound golden beets
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large onion diced
