Polish beetroot soup (Botwinka)

The vegan soup Botwinka is a Polish beetroot soup with leafy vegetables, this recipe is my personal vegan interpretation of Botwinka soup.

Botwinka is a Polish beetroot soup and I can remember exactly when I first ate it. It was an autumnal day in Berlin and I was sitting with a work colleague in a great café. I worked in Berlin a few years ago and enjoyed the culinary variety there. That’s honestly the only thing I miss here in the country. In Berlin, I was able to get to know something new, vegan every day. Unfortunately, this is not possible in the village where we live. As is well known, you can not have everything, but now I have much more time and peace to develop new recipes.

NOTE: This recipe is my personal interpretation, adapted from an original Polish Botwinka soup. So I’d be happy to get less cautionary comments and messages about this. But feel free to post your personal recipe, preferences or improvement requests in the comments.

The soup is quick and easy to make and will warm you up on chilly fall days. Maybe the recipe will remind you of another Polish delicacy, borscht. In fact, there is a great similarity here, but botwinka is cooked not with cabbage, but with leafy vegetables. I’m using a fine chard today that I bought from my favorite organic vegetable farmer.

Instead of chard, other leafy greens like spinach, pak choi, kale or black cabbage will work, of course. The taste of this fine soup is truly unique. Hearty, aromatic, but also slightly sweet thanks to the coconut milk. You won’t find them in classic recipes, of course, but I like to use them instead of the usual cream.

Let’s start with the list of ingredients. A little oil, potatoes, beet, carrots, vegetable broth, coconut milk, lemon juice, sugar, salt and pepper. If the soup is too thin, you can use a little cornstarch to thicken it. At the very end, a little decoration comes into play. Classically you use dill, I added parsley and a dollop of soy cream over the soup.

If you’re after another warming soup today, I recommend the following Ra recipes:
