Curried Yellow Beet Bisque Recipes

Steps:

• Fry onion and chopped garlic in olive oil over medium heat in pan for about 5 minutes, or until soft. Mix in chopped beets and cook for 2 minutes more.
• Stir in vegetable stock, salt, and pepper. Cover and let simmer for 25 minutes or until the beets are tender.
• Pour beet mixture into blender or food processor (you may have to do it in batches). Blend until creamy.
• Pour soup back into the pan and mix in cinnamon, allspice, and sugar. Cook for additional 3 minutes. You can add 1/2 cup of water to get the texture you want.

Steps:

• Place squash into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain.
• Combine flour, curry powder, ginger, and brown sugar in a small bowl; mix loosely to combine.
• Melt 1/2 of the butter in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Add onion, celery, carrot, and garlic; saute for 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup whipping cream, remaining butter, olive oil, vinegar, and bouillon cube. Add flour mixture; cook and slowly stir for 15 seconds, then reduce heat to medium or medium-low. Cover with a lid and cook until veggies are cooked through, about 3 minutes.
• Add cooked squash on top of the veggies, and season generously with salt and pepper; do not stir. Cover and cook until squash is heated through, about 1 minute.
• Fill blender halfway with squash mixture. Cover and hold lid down with a potholder; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend until mostly smooth. Pour into a pot. Repeat with remaining squash mixture.
• Reheat soup if needed. Put into a large serving bowl or separate serving dishes, garnish with cilantro, and drizzle with cream.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add the onion, reduce the heat to low, and cover. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent and soft but has not colored. Add the ginger, garam masala, and chile. Raise the heat to high and toast the spices for about 1 minute, stirring the whole time. Add the beets, 5 cups water, and the salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until the beets are just tender. Remove from the heat and add the vinegar. Adjust the seasoning and remove the chile.
• Serve in warm bowls as is or garnished with a spoonful of crème fraiche and sprinkled with nigella seeds.
