Warming beetroot, orange & ginger soup

This is an intensely rich and nourishing soup to dip homemade crusty bread into. The beetroot is rich in iron, betacyanin and fibre to encourage the breakdown of built up toxins and removal through the digestive system. Betacyanin has been shown to lower blood pressure where it is high, making it the perfect soup if life is particularly demanding. Orange is rich in antioxidant vitamin C for cellular repair and ginger's powerful volatile oils are known to fight bacterial infections as well as ease digestion and encourage circulation.

  1. Heat the oil in the pan, add the onion and lightly fry until soft.

  2. Add the potato and ginger and fry for 3 minutes.
  3. Add the orange zest and juice, beetroot, stock and bring to the boil. Simmer for 20 minutes until the potato is tender.
  4. Blend until smooth and season to taste.
  5. Garnish with some more orange zest and a swirl of natural yoghurt
