I love using beets for detox. I talk about detox and the MTHFR mutation in my book, Easy Paleo Meals, where I have some more yummy recipes that use beets. Plus, beets make everything so pretty! đ
Ginger Onion & Beet Soup
1 yellow onion
1/2 large beet
1 tablespoon avocado oil
salt and pepper to season
1 clove garlic, minced
1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and minced
1 teaspoon fish sauce*
1 teaspoon coconut aminos
2 & 1/2 cups chicken stock
*(in my opinion, this isn’t enough to taste the fish in the soup, it just makes the soup richer and more complex)
- Put a medium-sized heavy-bottomed pot over low to medium heat.
- Chop the onion, and peel then chop the beet.
- Add the oil, onion, and beet to the pot. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until almost tender, about 10 minutes.
- Add the garlic and ginger and cook about 5 minutes longer.
- Add the fish sauce and coconut aminos to deglaze the pot. Apologize to you family that no, you are not making Pad Thai đ
- Transfer to a blender with a vent. Add the chicken broth to the blender as well.
- Puree until completely smooth.
- Heat and serve with crackers. I used Jilz, Salt and Pepper Crackers.
- Enjoy!
Serves 2
Happy Friday!
