Detox Beet Soup (Gluten-Free + Dairy Free)

Serves: 3-4

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoon avocado oil
• 1/2 medium red onion
• 2 medium beets
• 2 medium carrots
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1/2 cup brussel sprouts
• Sea salt and black pepper to taste

• 4 cups organic bone broth or veggie broth
• 1-2 centimeter piece fresh ginger
• 1/2 lemon (juice)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Chop beets, carrots, onion, and brussel sprouts into 1/2 inch pieces and add to a mixing bowl. Peel garlic cloves and add whole cloves to the mixing bowl along with avocado oil. Toss until every piece is well coated in oil. Transfer to a roasting tray and sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper.
3. Roast vegetables for 35-40 minutes turning once halfway through. When the beets and carrots are soft (you can pierce with a fork easily), then remove from oven.
4. To a soup pot, add grated ginger, roasted veggies, and broth. Allow mixture to simmer for 10-15 minutes before blending. Use a high power blender or an immersion blender to puree soup. When soup is smooth, add juice of 1/2 lemon and more sea salt to taste.
5. Optionally you can top with coconut milk or coconut yogurt, pumpkin seeds, or fresh cilantro leaves.
