Ingredients
  • 500g beetroot
  • 1 onion
  • 120g SUNSWEET® prunes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 800ml vegetable stock
  • 150g sour cream
  • A dash of lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper
  • A pinch of cumin
  • ½ bunch of rocket leaves, 20 g
  • 50g walnut kernels
  • 100g double cream cheese
Instructions
  1. Peel and dice the beetroot and the onion. Chop the prunes.
  2. Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Sweat the beetroot and the on-ion in the oil for a few minutes. Add the vegetable stock and half the prunes. Cover and cook over a medium heat for approx. 20 minutes. Add the sour cream and blend with a hand blender until smooth. Add lemon juice, salt, pepper and cumin to taste.
  3. Wash the rocket leaves, dry in a salad spinner and chop finely. Chop the walnuts finely too, putting 1 tbsp to one side. Mix chopped rocket leaves and walnuts with the double cream cheese and the remaining prunes to form a firm dough. Use two tea-spoons to form the dough into small dumplings. Pour the soup in-to bowls or soup plates, add the dumplings to the soup, sprinkle with the remaining chopped walnuts and serve.

 

TIP: To save time, use 500g pre-cooked, vacuum-packed beetroot from the salad section of the supermarket. You could also serve the soup with some fresh rocket leaves. Drizzle with some walnut or olive oil.
