Beetroot, Fennel & Ginger Soup

This soup packs a powerful punch both vegetable wise and flavour wise. The flavours roll on so that you get the earthiness of the beetroot, followed by the licorice of fennel, and the ginger lingers. You could say it is a licorice all sort.

The soup is actually a WeightWatcher's recipe. Whilst I am not into strict diet regime's (having been there and not done that) I am struck at how many sensible good soup recipes are accredited to weight watchers. I have modified it slightly but here it is:

Ingredients
Serves 4

750ml Chicken Stock
1/2 Small Cabbage (I used Red Cabbage)
500g Beetroot (peeled and roughly chopped)
1 Small Fennel Bulb (trimmed and roughly chopped)
1 Large Clove Garlic (Russian)
2 Teaspoons Fresh Ginger (peeled and roughly chopped)
1/2 Teaspoon Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to Taste

I put all ingredients into the soup maker and used setting 2. If you wish to make it using more traditional methods then you can follow the weight watchers recipe above. Verdict: Delicious.
