Thai Coconut Beetroot Soup is everything soup should be. Full of flavor, fantastically colorful, silky smooth, and healthy too. Tuck into a steaming bowl and prepare to indulge all your senses.
Autumn has arrived, or as we like to call it in my house, soup season. And while I indulge my love for soup all year long, this is the time of year when soup can really take center stage.
My very favorite soups are chock full of good-for-you veggies and complex flavors, yet are super simple to make. Soups exactly like this recipe for gluten free Beetroot Soup, which truly ticks all the boxes.
This soup is brimming with amazing flavor and gorgeous color, thanks to the combination of beetroot and red curry paste. It is rich and creamy, but healthy as it contains no oil and only a little bit of coconut milk. 
Plus, this soup comes together with a minimal amount of fuss. Roasting the beetroot is a set-it-and-forget-it task that really deepens the flavor and gives this soup a true taste of fall. Then all that’s left is to simply simmer, blend, and serve. Yeap, it really is soup-er easy! {see what I did there?!}
So, are you ready to make this delicious beetroot soup? Then gather up your ingredients, pull out your blender, and I will show you….
