Spring beetroot gazpacho with kefir and wasabi

Baby beetroot gazpacho with kefir and wasabi1

Isn’t this the prettiest color for a soup? This gazpacho tastes as good as it looks. Ii’s typical Polish cuisine, made with young, spring beets and their green tops which have a spinach flavor. In addition to being a taste sensation, the soup is packed with flavors. I’m a huge fan!
First I simmered the beets with garlic and ginger, boiled with vegetable broth and after cooling combined everything with kefir and wasabi. The combo is phenomenal and refreshing, it’s basically perfection in a bowl and super healthy. Delicious and so easy to make.
