How to Make Beetroot Soup

Not too sure about how to make it? Not to worry, as here are all of the steps you need to make the most delicious bariatric friendly beetroot, ginger and coconut milk soup of all time.

Heat a large pot over a medium heat for a few minutes. Then add the chopped onion and cook until soft (usually about 4-5 minutes).
Add the garlic and ginger to the pot and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Next, add the beetroot and cups of stock and bring it to boil for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes or until the beetroot is tender when probed.
Pour the contents of the pot into the blender and blend until smooth.
Stir in the light/ zero fat coconut milk, salt and pepper. Add more coconut milk if necessary to improve the consistency.
Pour into bowls and serve hot.

Low Carb Soup for the Whole Family

Not only is this recipe extremely tasty for those who have recently had bariatric surgery, but it is also a great low carb soup and healthy meal for the whole family. But to make the meals a little more filling you can accompany the soup with different sides.

If you are preparing this meal for the whole family, you may try adding some of the following sides that are not bariatric surgery friendly, but are a great treat for those who are supporting you on your weight loss journey.

This soup goes fantastically with thick slices of crusty bread smothered in a little butter. Pop slices into a bowl and they will be perfect for the family to dip in their soup.
Boil some new potatoes in hot water until cooked and then sprinkle with salt and place them directly into the bowl of soup.
Roast parsnips, carrots, and butternut squash in the oven with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and salt and pepper on top. Serve alongside the soup.

What I love about this bariatric soup recipe is that it is so quick to put together and can easily be made into a heavier meal for other members of the family. It is light and easy on the stomach so it will not cause any discomfort to bariatric patients.
