    The dramatic crimson of this soup matches the deep, vibrant taste of the beets and tomatoes that fill it with flavor, not to mention nutrition.

    Beet and Tomato Soup

    Both are excellent sources of Vitamin C and provide substantial amounts of other nutrients as well: beets are packed with folate (especially important for pregnant women), potassium, and manganese, while tomatoes are full of vitamins A and K, and also add even more potassium to the mix.

    And this is without even mentioning the antioxidants in the vegetables: the visually striking red of both vegetables actually comes from their high antioxidant content.

    Beets can be a little intimidating to cook with, but a few tricks will make it a lot easier. A pair of rubber gloves will prevent the red pigment from staining your hands, and an apron or an old shirt is a wise decision.

    Many people’s first instinct is to peel the beets before boiling them, but if you wait, they’re actually easier to peel: you can just wrap each beet in a paper towel and rub them around a bit, and the peel will come right off without wasting any of the beets underneath.

    Adding even more beauty to the visual presentation of this dish is a swirl of coconut milk and a few sprigs of fresh parsley – if you’re hunting for a beautiful, seasonal dish to serve at Christmas time, this would be a perfect choice.

    But even in August, this soup is a visually striking addition to the menu, and with tomatoes and beets both in season, it’s a wonderful way to appreciate the late-summer vegetable bounty from your garden, CSA basket, or grocery store.

    Beet and Tomato Soup Recipe Preparation

    Preparation

    1. In a large saucepan, cover the beets with water (leave the skin on). Bring to a boil and cook 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until tender, over medium-high heat.
    2. Drain the beets. Peel them, and chop them coarsely.
    3. In the same saucepan, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the green onions, and cook until softened (about 5 min).
    4. Add the tomatoes and beets, and season to taste. Cook, frequently stirring, for about 5 min.
    5. Add the cumin. Stir and cook for about 1 minute. Then add the vegetable or chicken stock and the tomato paste, and bring to a boil.
    6. Lower the heat. Cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
    7. Puree the soup in a food processor or blender (you can do this in batches if your processor isn't big enough to handle it all at once).
    8. Re-warm the soup and season it to taste.
    9. Pour the soup into bowls and top each bowl with 1 tablespoon of coconut milk, cumin, and fresh parsley.
