This Roasted Garlic and Beetroot Soup is a slimming friendly and filling lunch for anyone calorie counting or following plans like Weight Watchers.

This soup is a hearty bowl of goodness, packing in roasted beetroot, garlic, carrot and onion – and you could get experimental, adding even more veg if you like!

You can pair the soup with bread, baked croutons, or even a sandwich, as part of a scrumptious lunch or evening meal.

How many calories are in this Roasted Garlic and Beetroot Soup?

There are 174 calories per portion in this Roasted Garlic and Beetroot Soup, which means it falls into our Everyday Light category. 

This Roasted Garlic and Beetroot Soup is perfect if you’re following a calorie controlled diet and fits well with any one of the major diet plans such as Weight Watchers. 

As a guide, an average man needs around 2,500kcal (10,500kJ) a day to maintain a healthy body weight. For an average woman, that figure is around 2,000kcal (8,400kJ) a day. Obviously, if your goal is to lose weight then you might want to adjust these slightly! You can read more about these recommendations on the NHS website.

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C.

Step 2

Wash the beetroot and trim off any stalks. Then cut them into quarters.

Step 3

Peel the carrots, cut them in half lengthways then cut each long piece in half.

Step 4

Peel the onion and cut into quarters.

Step 5

Peel the garlic and leave the cloves whole.

Step 6

Put all the veg and the bay leaves in a big bowl, spray with low calorie cooking spray. Add the balsamic vinegar, then sprinkle with the cumin.

Step 7

Stir well and tip the contents onto an oven tray. Roast for around an hour or until the veg is soft.

Step 8

When the veg is cooked, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. When it is cool enough to handle, peel the beetroot.

Step 9

Put all the veg (and any liquid from the tray) into a big bowl and add half the stock. Blitz in a food processor or using a stick blender. Keep adding more of the stock until it reaches a soup consistency (you can make it as smooth as you like). If it’s still a little thick then add some more water.

Step 10

Pour into a pan and heat through gently. Check the seasoning, and add some salt and pepper if necessary.

Step 11

Serve topped with a drizzle of fat free yoghurt and some rocket. You could even add some crumbled feta.

Could you use the vacuum packed beetroot?

Reply

    CateWednesday 3rd July 2019

    The vacuum packed type is already cooked so roasting it might not work well. If you are planning on using it try adding just before blitzing the veg, though note the flavour will be different. If you do try it let us know how it goes! 🙂

      I obviously do not know what this should taste like, but I used the vacuum packed beetroot. I put it in from the beginning to roast with everything else and it was delicious.
