Nourishing Beet Soup (Keto, GAPS)

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Beet soup - hot or cold - health home and happiness

We like this soup both warm and chilled for warmer weather. Rich beetroots and carrots puree in nourishing chicken broth and create a hearty soup suitable for any time of the year.  Serve with coconut flour bread, hazelnut bread, and sliced beef or chicken to round out the meal.

Nourishing Beet Soup

Course: Soup
Cuisine: GAPS
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Pressure Release & Simmer: 15 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes
Servings: 4 bowls
Calories: 86 kcal
Chicken stock, especially with all the gelatinous parts of the chicken around the bone blended in, is too nourishing of a food to only eat during cold weather. With cold soups we can get the health benefits year around. Cold soup also makes a great lunch on the go when packed in a thermos (this is the one we use and like the best)

Ingredients

  • 4 medium beets peeled and chopped

    We’ve been living out of our crock pot this summer. Between the heat and having an 8 week old along with a busy body 3 year my crock has become my new best friend. I’ll be sure to give this a try!

    BTW, your liver pate recipe in the 30 day GAPS meal plan is to die for. My 3 year old who is very picky requests it as dip for her carrots, cuc’s and snap peas.

    I have the same thermos and love it!! I also have a smaller wide mouth thermos that I like. I originally bought them for my 7 YO but since he’s been on vacation I’ve been using them for my GAPS food to take to work LOL
    I love my crockpot for stock and meats – it’s definitely a heat-saver in the summer (I’m in GA). I’m still eating hot/warm soups since it’s cold in my office. I’m having beets twice today: cooked and pureed with my beef and in borscht.

    How do you get your crockpots to work outside in the summer? I’ve tried with all three of my cp. They work fine in the house, but outside they won’t cook.

      Hmm, I haven’t had any problems with ours! I wonder if your outlets outside are tripped or are a different kind?

      I find that when I use the crock pot outside I need to but a towel over it to keep the wind from cooling it.

    Hi Cara,
    I wanted to thank you for this recipe! I tried making it a couple weeks ago by throwing everything into the crockpot on HIGH and leaving the house for a few hours; turns out I didn’t put in enough liquid and should have had it on LOW. When I got home, there was a sizzling sound coming from the crockpot. There was no liquid left, some of the veggies were burnt, but most of them were amazingly caramelized (I had also added a pat of butter in the morning). So I tasted a beet and then proceeded to eat all of the veggies standing at the counter. They were so good!

    I’m rather excited about the beet, garlic, and carrot combo, so I’m cooking up some more right now. Maybe someday I’ll even get around to following your recipe to make it into a cold pureed soup, but for now I’m loving it anyway. Thanks!

    Oh, and welcome to the desert! I’m one state away from you, in New Mexico!

    I’m going to try this with my pressure cooker. I have the new electric model with programal timer, etc. I love it!!! I make homemade stock in 20mins that would take me a day to make. I’ll let you know how it turns out.

    Some add ons at the end that my mother used to put into cold beet borscht soup were diced cucumber and chopped green onion (or chives).
