This Beetroot, Cumin & Coriander Soup with Yogurt is the soup recipe you need if you are entertaining guests at lunch. The recipe serves 4, but you can easily double (or triple!) it if you are feeding a crowd. As it happens, whenever I make this soup, I always make extra so that I can have leftovers!
Start by cooking onions and beetroot in oil with salt, chilli flakes, cumin and coriander seeds. Add vinegar and stock and bring to a boil and simmer. While the soup simmers, prepare the pièce de résistance – the garnish for this soup. Dukkah is an Egyptian nut and spice mix consisting of a mixture of herbs, hazelnuts and spices. Toast hazelnuts, sesame seeds, cumin and coriander seeds before crushing them with a pestle and mortar!
To make the Beetroot, Cumin & Coriander Soup with Yogurt, you will need the following ingredients:
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 onions, 2.2 lb of beetroot wedges and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally for 10 minutes.
Increase the heat to medium-high. Add 1 teaspoon of chilli flakes, 1 tablespoon of cumin and 1 tablespoon of coriander seeds. Cook, while stirring, until fragrant.
Add 1 tablespoon of vinegar and stir well. Pour in 5 cups liters of vegetable stock and bring to a boil.
Cover the saucepan and simmer the soup for 45 - 60 minutes until the beetroot wedges are tender. Remove the lid halfway through cooking to allow the soup to.
Place 1/3 cup of hazelnuts, 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds, 1 teaspoon of cumin and ½ a tablespoon of coriander seeds into a dry skillet. Toast over low heat until the hazelnuts are golden. Add a pinch of salt and crush the dukkah using a pestle and mortar.
Blend the soup using a hand blender until smooth.
Serve the soup warm in large bowls, garnished with a drizzle of yogurt and a sprinkle of dukkah.
