Quick, Simple Beetroot Soup

I cook, most of the time. And most of them are simple and quick to prepare. Here is one of my favourite soup and the girls like it very much.

Ingredient: 
1 Beetroot (about 290-300g)
200-300g lean pork meat or chicken breast meat
900ml-1000ml water

Seasoning:
Salt to taste, but I always skip this. It's yummy without any!

Note: 
Do remember not to rinse or rinse minimally the beetroot after you peel off the skin and cut, as it will wash away the colour, as well as the nutritious.

Method:
All you need to do is put the meat and the beetroot into the boiling water. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 30 mins (sometime, I did it like 20 mins).

You can easily get beetroot from FairPrice nearby. Usually I would get a dollar price (plus minus) of it. I mean I would not get too big or too small of a beetroot, the price tag is a good guide to me to cook a pot of soup for a family of 4.

According to lovebeetroot.co.uk, the benefits of drinking beetroot juice is to boost stamina and make muscles work more efficiently to reducing blood pressure. But due to its bloody red hue colour, I never try to drink the juice. Probably my mum had read my mind, she taught me this recipes. And I slowly learn to eat the cooked beetroot.

Most importantly, she helped to add one soup recipe in the what-to-cook-tonight compartment of my brain, it easy to extract out when I walk pass aisles of food in supermarket without any clue.

Best is, when I am in good mood, I cook dishes with some other colours to create a visually happy dinner.

Bon Appetite!

  1. Am sure gonna try out this recipe!! I love canned beet root and have been wondering how I can eat the fresh version other than juicing it.

  2. How does beetroot taste like? Never like the look of it so never cross my mine to cook it.

    1. It didn't cross my mind too, until my mum introduced it to me. Love it since then!

      It tastes sweet. And together with the pork, it blends well amazingly. Look how I skip seasoning totally!

    1. Bittersweet? I don't taste that at all in the soup.
