Instructions

1. First, cook your beets (or buy them pre-cooked).
2. Cut off the stems of the beets and rinse them under cold water to remove any dirt.
3. Place them in a large pot of boiling water for 60 minutes, topping off the water in the pot as needed.
4. Drain the beets and allow them to cool in a colander in the sink.
5. Turn on the cold water and peel the beets by pressing your thumb down firmly.
6. Cut the peeled beets coarsely into cubes and place in your blender.
7. Slice 1/2 – 1 leek, depending on how much onion flavor you like, place them in the blender.
8. Add the cashews (soaked or not, depending on how much time you have. I didn’t soak.), coconut milk, water, and sea salt.
9. Blend until completely smooth. Scrape down the sides and blend again.
10. Pour the soup into a pot over medium-high heat to warm before consumption.
11. Top with toasted pepitas and coconut cream.
12. You may need to warm the coconut cream in the microwave for 30 seconds so it’s easily drizzle-able.
