Soup's On! Beet Soup with Apricot Swirl.

New day, new opportunity to experiment with soup. Had a bunch of beets in my pantry that I had cooked up. Could do a borscht or sliced beets as a vegetable, or something a bit different. Checked my cookbooks and came up with a pureed beet soup with the addition of an apricot puree on top. Quite a simple soup, just beets, onions and stock. Apricot puree consisted of apricots cooked with onion in orange juice.

The colour is amazing!!! Taste is lovely. Quite delicate actually with just a touch of sweetness above what is normal with beets. I added some pepper and a bit of wine vinegar and it was perfect.
