Cold beet soup with avocado pieces

In the past few years I started to appreciate the wonderful recipes in the Eastern Europe kitchen and started to introduce them into my own healthy vegan life. My favorite is the red beet soup. There are many different variations and everyone seems to have a secret recipe or a particular preference, but when I first ate a cold vegan beet soup in summer with chunks of avocado (!) I was so impressed by the creativity and the delicious taste! I had to make this myself! I’ve added a lot more to it and oh how delicious it is.

Cold beet soup with avocado Traditionally beetroot soup is made from the soup (juice) that is used to boil beets and to this buttermilk, kefir or sour cream would be added. The beet soup will normally be served with half a boiled egg. While this vegan version contains no cream or eggs, it lacks nothing when it comes to the taste.

Delicious cold red beet soup with homemade cashew cream, lots of crunchy vegetables and pieces of ripe avocado. Delicious!

And remember, the colder the better!
