Creamy beet soup has always been my favorite. It's delicious and the colour absolutely gorgeous! I always cook my potatoes ahead of time when making soup. There's nothing worse than a starchy soup.

-1 tablespoon avocado oil
-1 medium yellow onion chopped
-3 cloves garlic minced
-2 tablespoon fresh sage finely chopped
-Large pinch of sea salt
-4 cups vegetable broth
-1 pound beets peeled and quartered
-1 bay leaf
-1/2 pound Yukon gold potatoes cooked
-Cashew yogurt, dukkah and full sage leaves for serving

Add onion and sauté until almost translucent about 5 minutes.
Add garlic and sage and cook for another 30 seconds.
Add salt and cook for another 30 seconds.
Add vegetable broth, beets and bay leaf and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer until beets are tender about 30 minutes.
Add potatoes and cook for another 5 minutes.
Puré in a blender making sure to remove the bay leaf.
Transfer back to the pot and reheat again.
