Bring to a boil and allow the beets to simmer for about 20 minutes until just tender but not overdone. (You can roast the beets if you like, but this method is a bit quicker.) Once the beets are cool enough to handle, remove them from their skins and chop into half-moon shaped chunks. Set aside. <br><br> Meanwhile, after prepping the other ingredients, add the oil of your choosing to a large Dutch oven or soup pot and sauté the onion until translucent. Add the carrots and cook for another 5-7 minutes until barely tender, then toss in the ginger, garlic and spices, stirring until fragrant (about 30 seconds or more). <br><br> Stir in the beets. Pour in the stock or water and add the coconut milk, stirring until well combined. You might need to add a bit more water and/or coconut milk to ensure all the ingredients are thoroughly covered. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer for about 30 minutes or more, to infuse the flavors. <br><br> Remove from heat and puree in batches in a high-speed blender. Return to the pot and heat through, taste for seasoning and then serve. If the soup is too thick, just add more water and give it a good stir. Top with fresh herbs and a drizzle of olive oil if you like, or even seeds like pepitas, for added pizazz. <br><br> Serves up to 10 as an appetizer, or make it a meal for up to six. Stores well in the refrigerator for about a week and tastes even better the next day. </p> <p> <center><img src="gold.jpg"></center> </p> <!-- InstanceEndEditable --></div> </div> <div id="contentfooter"></div> <div id="footertop"></div> <div id="footermid"> <div id="footercontent" class="align-center"> <a href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=referer" class="align-left"> <img src="http://www.w3.org/Icons/valid-html401-blue" alt="Valid HTML 4.01 Transitional" height="31" width="88" /></a> <strong>Copyright &copy; 2009 <a href="../../index.htm">Hazelnet</a> &amp; <a href="http://www.styleshout.com/">Styleshout</a></strong> <a href="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/check/referer" class="align-right"> <img style="border:0;width:88px;height:31px" src="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/images/vcss-blue" alt="Valid CSS!" class="align-right" /></a> </div> </div> <div id="footerbot"></div> </div> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- function SiteStats_4290(){ var t=new Date(); var u='http://www.hazelnet.org/cgi-bin/sitestats.gif?p='+escape(location.href)+';r='+escape(document.referrer)+';t='+t.getTime(); var I=new Image(1,1); I.src=u; } SiteStats_4290(); //--></script><noscript><img src="http://www.hazelnet.org/cgi-bin/sitestats.gif?p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hazelnet.org%2Fcookbook%2Fnew2%2Fpuff.html;r=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hazelnet.org%2Fcookbook%2Ffavourites.htm;t=4290;" width=1 height=1 alt="sitestats"></noscript> </body> <!-- InstanceEnd --></html>
