The perfect detoxing pick-me-up that is great for entertaining, this 10-minute, 5-ingredient, 1-pot, antioxidant-packed blended soup is a perfect start to any meal. Or pour it into small glasses and serve as soup shooters during your cocktail party.
Blended soups are simple and quick to make yet elegant and sophisticated in presentation. We serve them as an appetizer, a light lunch, or an on-the-go snack in a mason jar. Our kids love them too. This soup is fabulous cold or hot and even better the next day, so prep it ahead.
Beets have dietary fiber, vitamins B, C, E and K, minerals, magnesium, iron and copper. Beets help boost the immune system, energy levels and promote detoxing.
Pair the soup with fresh ginger and cilantro for even more immune-boosting benefits and anti-inflammatory properties. For texture, zest and color, finish with a sprinkle of protein packed pistachios, a generous squeeze of lime, fresh cilantro, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
