Ingredients

  • 2 12 cups diced cooked red beetroots (500 g)
  • 2 12 cups vegetable stock
  • 78 cup orange juice
  • 1 cup creme fraiche
  • Worcestershire sauce, to taste
  • salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 12 cup full cream yoghurt

Method

  • In a soup pot, add the beet cubes to vegetable stock and bring to the boil.
  • Allow to cook gently for four minutes.
  • Take the pot off the heat and puree the soup with an immersion blender until smooth.
  • Add the orange juice and the creme freche and allow to come to the boil again.
  • If the soup is too thick, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water.
  • Season the soup with worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper.
  • If preparing this dish ahead of time, allow the soup to cool and store it in the fridge.
  • If you plan to eat it straight away, pour the soup into bowls.
  • Stir a bit of salt through the yoghurt and, using a spoon, carefully create yoghurt spirals in the soup.
