Cream of Beetroot Soup

It's probably no surprise to regular readers when I say I love beets! Here's a dead simple recipe with just three ingredients: beets, tofu and sage. I had it raw - but you can just as easily heat it up or even replace the tofu with cream.

Cream of Beetroot Soup

Ingredients:

• 1 large beetroot
• 4 sage leaves
• About 50-75 grams of silken tofu

To make:

• Chop up the beets and the sage roughly.
• Blitz the beetroot, sage, along with some water, in a blender till it its a puree. Set aside.
• In a clean blender, add the tofu cubes and blitz till its the consistency of cream or curd. Add some water if needed.
• In a bowl, combine the two. I added the two in layers - a tablespoon of beets and then a tablespoon of tofu cream.
• Serve chilled.
