Bloody Black Pot With Bones

Tomato soup? Nope.

But someone got pureed. And . there . is . splintered . bones . in the soup.

Serve this totally healthy, innocent, and vegan but seemingly gross soup in a black pot with "bones" to disgust, or present it in a typical way for just a simple, easy, healthy, comforting fall soup.

2 1/2 c. peeled and diced potatoes (4 medium)

2 1/2 c. peeled and diced carrots (4 medium)

2 1/2 c. peeled and diced red beets (1 very large)

2 medium onions, chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

4 c. water

1 to 1 1/2 Tbsp. salt

1 large pinch dried basil

4 Tbsp. coconut cream (non-vegans may use dairy cream)

Place the potatoes, carrots, red beets, onion, garlic, and water in a medium pot and simmer with lid till the vegetables are soft, 30 to 45 min.

Puree the soup with an immersion blender or in a stand blender.

Return the pureed soup to the pot and add salt, basil, and coconut cream (or dairy cream), stirring well.

Serve the soup warm.

For a disgusting "Bloody Black Pot with Bones," serve in a black pot and sprinkle the soup with sunflower seeds.

Who got pureed? Mr. Carrot! :D :D :D
