Raw Borsch Soup

Before I became RawFood eater I loved to eat Russian Borsch soup. So you can imagine that I missed it a lot, until I found a raw interpretation of that soup. It does taste (almost) like a real one!:-)

Raw Borsch Soup 

3 Beets, peeled

5 cm root ginger (I used 1 teaspoon ginger powder)

3 - 4 cloves garlic, peeled

6 - 7 bay leaves

2 carrots, chopped

2 stalks celery

2 Tbs apple cider vinegar

1 Tbs honey

3 - 4 oranges, peeled and seeds removed

1 cup olive oil

sea salt to taste

1/2 cup walnuts

1/4 head cabbage, diced or grated

1 - 2 carrots. diced or grated

1 bunch of parsley, diced or grated

•  Blend the beets, ginger, garlic and bay leaves with 2 cups of water in a blender. Pour the mixture into a big bowel.

• - Blend the carrots, celery, apple cider vinegar, oranges, honey, olive oil and salt with 2 cups of water for about 30 seconds. 
• - Mix separately walnuts but not too much just so that they break into small pieces.
• - Pour in the same bowl and stir.
• - Add the cabbage, carrots and parsley to the blended mixture. Stir and serve. Garnish with some parsley!
