Chilled Beet Soup

Creamy chilled beet soup is a refreshing vegetarian and gluten free recipe. It’s perfect for a spring or summer appetizer!
After creating the amazingness that is Beet Hummus, (now my favorite snack, I’m totally addicted!) I became obsessed with making other recipes with roasted beets.
As I was chatting with my friend that works at my favorite neighborhood spot, Queenstown Public House, he mentioned they were wanting to add a chilled soup to their appetizer list for the summer.
Since I was on my “I want to put beets in everything” kick at the time, I suggested a chilled beet soup. Then I thought to myself, “I should make that for the blog” and so I did!
As soon as I made it and began to slurp it up, I immediately envisioned little shot glasses of this chilled soup served at a summer party, cool, refreshing and delicious!
It would also make a beautiful start to a Mother’s Day Menu this weekend. Yes, Mother’s Day is Sunday, go buy your Mom something amazing because Mom’s are the best! 🙂

I’m obsessed with beets…definitely have to try this! Will have to figure out what to substitute for the greek yogurt since I can’t have dairy…I’m thinking maybe some almond cream might do the trick…and then it would add some protein too. 🙂
