The principals of Chinese medical diet always emphasizes the importance of warm foods and cooked vegetables. Especially during the winter months, this principal has never been so important! I acquired the following beet recipe from a friend in acupuncture school. Over time, I’ve made a few modifications but its one of our favorite soups in our house!
1 medium beet, cut in pieces
1 medium onion, cut in pieces
3 carrots, cut
3 leafs of kale
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 boxes vegetable broth
1/2-3/4 can of tomato paste
Sautee garlic and 1/2 of the onions in grape seed oil. Add beet, carrot, onion, kale, vegetable broth and tomato paste and bring to a boil. Then lower heat and simmer until all vegetables are soft.
