Ghanaian Spiced Beetroot Soup

The secret to the most delicious soup is always the spice. For me, as usual it's my #GhanaSpice blend. Cloves and ginger play an important role in Ghanaian cuisine. They add amazing taste to meals and their health benefits are what makes me love these spices more.
To make this soup, you simply throw the ingredients together, boil and then blend. That simple and perfect for the winter nights.
If you are not a fan of beets, challenge yourself and try this recipe and you might change your mind.
All you Need: Serves 2
1 tablespoon of butter (20g)
1 small onion
2 inch size fresh ginger (size of the thumb)
2 teaspoon of #MLcomplementspice (or cloves, rosemary and aniseed)
3 medium sized beetroots
Salt to taste
How to make it:
Add butter to a saucepan to melt. Add in chopped onions, ginger and spices. Fry for about 2 minutes stiring occasionally. This adds some smoky taste from the spice.
Next peel and cut up beetroot into small sizes to help cooking time.
Add warm water, 3 cups, salt and cover to boil for 15-20 minutes or until beets are soft.
Remove from heat and carefully pour into a blender. Blend until smooth and serve with wholegrain  bread and boiled egg for the perfect balanced meal. Pictured is my husband's portion topped with Finnish blue cheese and sesame seeds 👌.
