It’s because of that nasty pickled stuff in the jars that leaks pink juice over everything else on your plate, contaminating it with cerise vinegaryness. Or is that just me? It turns out that unpickled freshly cooked beetroot is sweet, earthy and delicious when roasted or made into purees or soups. It is also an amazingly deep, dark burgundy colour that turns a fabulous shade of fuchsia when mixed with anything white.

Like white cheese, yoghurt or sour cream. It’s close relationship with white cheese isn’t only about colour mixing, it’s about flavour mixing too. But adding the extra crunch that you get from a toasted slice of rye bread topped with creamy feta mixed with fresh herbs, green chilli and spring onions that you then put under a hot grill to melt, bubble and brown slightly, takes this humble soup to a whole new level. You could also use pre-cooked beetroot to save time. Butternut Squash Soup. I don’t know if I’m crazy, but every time I see a butternut squash the Veggie Tales theme song goes off in my head.

Butternut Squash Soup

Since I loved Veggie Tales when I was a kid (and let’s face it- I could still watch it and be entertained today) these crazy looking members of the gourd family make me happy inside. Of course then I cut it up and cook it, and the Veggie Tales song fades away. But then the thing that keeps running around my mind is “squutter-nut-bosh” and if you know that reference, you’re a true Friends fan like me! I originally called this soup “butternut squash/carrot soup” but I don’t think that’s quite accurate. You do use a fair amount of carrots in the making of, but it’s such an underwhelming flavor and I felt like the name would put people off. This recipe is a pretty solid meal for two people. The first several steps to this soup are really similar to making pumpkin puree. Thai Pumpkin soup.

This is a great warming soup to have at Halloween or on Guy Fawkes night when there is still an abundance of pumpkins around.

Pumpkin soup with fried potatoes in rosemary and ... W zeszłym roku pokazywałam Wam tradycyjny, znany większości krem z dyni (przepis tutaj).

Pumpkin soup with fried potatoes in rosemary and ...

W tym roku przy okazji jej przetwarzania również nie mogłam odpuścić zupie.. ale tym razem na krem ochoty nie mieliśmy. Więc..? Więc powstała przepyszna, rozgrzewająca i naprawdę mocno sycąca zupa ze smażonymi ziemniakami i słodką marchewką. Doprawiona świeżym rozmarynem (który jak już się wcześniej przekonałam wspaniale do dyni pasuje), szczyptą curry oraz słodką i ostrą- dodającą pikanterii papryką. Osobiście jestem nią zachwycona, mam nadzieję że i Wy będziecie.. ;) Polecam!
