Fresh Beet and Apple Soup Recipe

Beet Apple Soup
This year, I joined a CSA (“Community Supported Agriculture” group) and have been savoring all the fresh vegetables I’ve been getting on a weekly basis. The last several weeks, I’ve been getting lots of beets in my CSA Box, and have been making roasted beets for pasta, salads, and beet soups, including this Fresh Beet and Apple Soup.

The growing season is coming to an end, and there is only one week left for my CSA share. However, there is a indoor farmer’s market nearby that I’ll be scouting out in the cooler months to keep my vegetable drawer full of local produce.

Until several years ago, I was not much of a beet fan. But, that’s because all I knew were canned beets, which didn’t taste like much to me. My eyes were opened when I had my first fresh Roasted Beet Salad at a local restaurant. After that, I started roasting fresh beets at home, and recently made this Fresh Beet and Apple Soup, pureed smooth and flavored with lots of spices.

My CSA Box happened to also have a few small acorn squashes in it, so I made this soup into a one dish meal, serving it inside a roasted acorn squash. It made for a dramatic presentation, elegant enough to serve to company.

    Lovely presentation in the squash bowl, and I can just imagine all of those Fall flavors coming together, beets and squash with the sweetness of the apple.

      Thanks Lydia – I do love the fall colors and flavors together. It is interesting how things naturally come together when you’re working with fresh whole ingredients.

    I’m a little iffy on beets as well, probably due to a canned beet experience when I was young. I’m still trying to overcome this.

    That being said, this soup sounds delicious and I LOVE the idea of serving it in a squash bowl. I’m going to have to do this with every soup from now on!

      I know how you feel Joanne. I can still remember the metallic taste of canned beets, but I promise if you try roasted beet salad, it will change the way you view beets and erase those metallic memories. These little squash bowls are cute – I was pleasantly surprised, makes a nice presentation for entertaining or just for treating yourself.

    Oh, look at that pretty presentation in the acorn squash… just love it. Aren’t the colours of nature extraordinary? I adore fresh roasted beets and appreciate that you added apple to the mix – a nice flavour builder with just the right note of sweetness. Lovely recipe Jeanette.

    I love all the color-so vibrant. The soup sounds wonderful! I still haven’t signed up for CSA, but everyone I know has had such great experience like you have. I”m going to have to give it further consideration now! 🙂

      I’ve really enjoyed my CSA box this year – I am hoping to try it again next year, it’s been a great experience and forced me (in a good way) to eat a wider variety of vegetables.

    loving the beet apple soup with roasted acorn squash. these are all in my refridge right now! i’ve totally been in the soup mood lately. i’ve usually just been baking my acorn squash in the oven without oil and it’s been plenty flavorful!

    I love roasted beet soup. I wasn’t a fan either until I started roasting them at home. What a nice idea to add the apples. I bet the flavors are out of this world!

    That looks delicious! Pinning this onto Pinterest!
    I’ve never liked the traditional soups with the carrots, potatoes, and rice. Even if a serving had 8 or 10 or maybe even 15 grams of protein, I never got full from eating them. Vegetables/Fruit-only soups are what I like best :] (plus they taste sweet sometimes)

      I have really enjoyed the challenge of using up all the fresh veggies in my CSA Box each week. There have been weeks when I’ve gotten vegetables that I wouldn’t normally pickup, so it’s forced me (in a good way) to eat the entire spectrum.

    I never liked them before too much either, then I roasted some for beet soup and Voila! 🙂 Could not believe how sweet they tasted. I have to try serving the next batch in acorn squash.

      Not sure what your likes are, also depends on if you’re vegetarian or not. If you prepare this soup in the mini-pumpkin, this is quite filling in itself, so perhaps just a quinoa pilaf with some chickpeas or black beans would be enough. If you serve the soup in a bowl (no pumpkin), then a nice green salad, some brown rice, and a lean protein such as roast chicken or broiled/baked fish might be nice.

    I just posted a butternut squash and apple soup recipe. I loved the combination, and your beet soup served in a squash bowl is really impressive. I have beets, apples and squash. Don’t you love it when you have everything in the pantry you need for a recipe?
