Beetroot soup.

It's been raining since the morning, the temperature has dropped by 10 degrees and the sky is as grey as it can be. The autumn is finally here. In another words, it's time for soup.

I'm definitely no master chef and most likely will never be - there are so many other things that interest me more than chopping and cutting and cooking and boiling stuff in the kitchen -, but every now and then I get inspired and try something new. Especially if it's delicious and easy and takes only a few minutes to prepare. Like a beetroot soup.

All one needs is:

a bit of oil for cooking

1 onion, chopped

2 cloves of garlic, chopped

4-5 small beetroots, cooked

2-3 medium potatoes, cooked

water

spices (thyme, black pepper, salt)

crême fraîche, sour cream or goat cheese to serve

Cook the onion and the garlic until slightly brown. Cook the potatoes and beetroots and let them cool. Add some water and mix all the ingredients into a smooth purée in a blender. Heat the soup up and serve with a touch of crême fraîche, sour cream or a chunk of goat cheese (for the goat cheese lovers like myself).

Et voilà, you're good to go for another autumn day!
