- 100 milliliters soy cream
- cinnamon
- nutmeg
Directions:
- Wash, peel and coarsely grate beets.
- Place beets, water, salt, pepper, sugar and lemon juice in a deep pan.
- Cook until beets are tender about 20-30 minutes.
- Puree using a kitchen machine, blender or a staff mixer.
- For an extra smooth soup put through a sieve.
- Shortly before serving add the soy cream.
