40 minutes
Beet and celery puree soup with spices is a refined dish of European cuisine that combines the rich earthy flavor of roasted beets and the creamy texture of celery. Celery root adds a light nutty note to the soup, while aromatic spices like ginger, coriander, and black pepper deepen and warm the flavor. Lemon juice adds a pleasant acidity, refreshing the overall flavor palette. This soup is perfect for the autumn-winter season and can be served with crispy bread and fresh herbs.
