    ⭐ Why you'll love this recipe

    • Healthy - this is packed with healthy vegetables and especially perfect in fall with seasonal produce.
    • Creamy - the coconut milk gives it the best taste and texture.
    • Versatile - have for lunch, a light dinner or an appetizer in smaller quantities.

    🍠 Ingredients

    This beetroot and sweet potato soup is made with fresh vegetables and a few pantry staples. The main ingredients you will need are:

    • Beetroot, sweet potato and carrots - you can roast the beets yourself first, or use already prepared if this works for you.
    • Coconut milk - gives the best creamy taste and texture.
    • Vegetable broth - either make your own or use store-bought (check ingredients if so).
    • Bay leaves and thyme - to give the soup a nice herby taste.
    • Pumpkin seeds - to garnish.
    • Mint - to garnish.

    Make sure to see the recipe card below for the full instructions and their quantities!

    🔪 Step by step instructions

    Step 1: Fry the onion in olive oil in a large pan untiled softened, about five minutes. Add the thyme and bay leaves.

    Step 2: Add the sweet potato, carrots and beetroot to pan and cook for five minutes. Stir often to prevent sticking (add a touch of water if needed).

    Step 3: Pour the vegetable broth, coconut milk (set aside some of the cream for garnish) and salt into the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a light simmer. Cook for 25-30 minutes until the vegetables have softened.

    Step 4: Remove the bay leaves. Use an immersion blender to blend, or transfer in batches to a food processor. Ladle into your bowls and garnish.

    💭 Recipe tips and notes

    • Fresh beetroot that you cook yourself is great, but I often use vacuum packed beetroot for quickness (as I do most of the time for this soup).
    • Never get beetroot in vinegar to use in soup! It will have a strange taste, and is definitely not histamine-friendly if you have that dietary requirement.
    • If you are concerned about ruining chopping boards with the beetroot juice, then carefully open the packet over the saucepan, and then cut up the beetroot once it is in the pan. Definitely the way that I do it!

    Hi, I’m Claire. After a diagnosis of MCAS I began to follow a low histamine diet, which has helped me manage my symptoms. Here I hope to show that a restrictive diet can still be full of flavourful meals, and help you enjoy being creative in the kitchen.
