This week I’ve been leaning into soups — simple, nourishing, and full of seasonal goodness. One of my favourites (and the one I’ll be making for our Women’s Day Retreat this Friday) is this Beetroot, Carrot & Orange Soup. It’s earthy, vibrant, slightly sweet, and has a citrus lift that feels like sunshine in a bowl. Perfect for this time of year when we need a little extra warmth and brightness.
Goddess Roots Soup
Recipe (serves 4)
- 3 medium beetroots, peeled & chopped
- 6 large carrots, peeled & chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1/2 fresh red chilly ( seeded )
- 1 tsp spoon of fennel seeds
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 tbsp olive oil (or coconut oil for a richer depth)
- 1 litre vegetable stock (or mixed with 1 spoon of miso paste if you prefer)
- Zest & juice of 1 large orange
- Sea salt & black pepper, to taste
- Fresh dill as garnish or even fresh thyme
- Oat cream or dollop of coconut cream on the top
- Optional: a pinch of cumin or ginger for warmth
Method:
- Heat oil in a large pan, sauté onion, fennel seeds, fresh chilly & garlic until soft and fragrant.
- Add chopped beetroot and carrots, stir for about 10 minutes for extra flavours.
- Pour in stock, bring to boil, then reduce heat and simmer until veggies are soft (40 – 50 minutes).
- Blend until silky smooth. Stir in orange zest and juice at the end. Start with a half of the juice so it is not too sweet and, you can adjust accordingly.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve warm with a drizzle of olive oil or dollop of coconut cream or oat cream. I also sprinkled a shelled hemp seeds for extra healthy fats, protein and healthy digestion.
This vibrant trio of beetroot, carrots, and orange is more than just delicious — it’s a harmonious blend that supports women’s health at every level. Beetroot nourishes the blood and supports circulation, carrots provide antioxidant-rich beta-carotene for radiant skin and eye health, and orange adds a bright, immune-boosting lift while balancing the earthy flavours. A sprinkle of shelled hemp seeds adds plant-based protein, healthy fats, and minerals, boosting energy and supporting overall vitality. A touch of fresh thyme brings its warming, aromatic qualities and gentle digestive support, grounding the soup perfectly for the season.
It’s a soup that truly warms, nourishes, and balances — just what our bodies crave as the season shifts. See you on the retreat, enjoy making this delicious, heart-warming soup and, for more root veggies soup, click here.
