About this beet soup’s recipe
I wanted a soup this time, with beautiful fresh vegetables ! This delicious beet soup with pecan cream recipe is simple, made with beet, fennel, carrot, ginger & garlic !
I’ve added some pecan cream into the soup itself, to be as creamy and tasty as you could wish. This pecan cream is easy to make. The most difficult part is to soak the pecan nuts the night before. So yes you can dot it.
I am no stranger to creamy nut recipes but I’ve never tried a pecan cream (and I’ve been wanting to make it since a long time). This pecan cream adds a kind of a “cheesy” flavor to the soup and I love to add 1 more big splash into the soup when I serve it. If you don’t have time for the pecan cream, this soup is delicious too but less nutty in flavors.
Hot or cold?
Great news here ! You can enjoy this delicious beet soup with pecan cream hot or cold. So I love to make this soup again and again and I hope you’ll make it too.

PECAN CREAM
- Drain the soaked nuts (pecans and cashews). Place them in a high speed blender with 3/4 cup of water, apple cider vinegar, garlic & salt. Blend on very high speed for few minutes.
Add 2 more Tbsp of water (1 at a time) and blend again until the mixture is completely smooth and you reach a heavy whipping cream. - Pour about 3/4 of the cream into a jar and leave the remainder in your blender (you’ll add the soup to the blender to blend with the leftover cream).
BEETROOT SOUP
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the fennel, red onion, garlic cloves, ginger, gomasio and fresh ground pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 min or until softened.
- Meanwhile, peel and chop the carrots and beetroots.
- Add the beetroots, carrots, water and 1 tsp of miso paste to the pot. Turn the heat up to high and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce slightly the heat, and simmer uncovered until the veggies are completely soft, about 30-35 minutes.
- Blend 1/2 of the vegetables in your blender (with the leftover cream)* until smooth.
Add the remaining vegetables to the blender and blend again on high speed until the soup is smooth and creamy. - Add salt and pepper to taste.
