Ingredients

For The Stock:
570ml water
1 bouquet garni
1 celery stick, diced
2 carrots, diced
1 red (or white) onion, diced
1 star anise
salt and pepper, to taste
one vegetable stock cube (optional)

For The Soup Itself:
8 - 12 cooked beetroots, halved
6 - 8 medium sized eating apples (any except Granny Smith), cored and chopped into quarters
2 red onions, halved
2 carrots, cut into rings
salt and pepper, to taste
140ml water
horseradish sauce

Method:
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.
2. For the stock: Put all the stock ingredients into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Simmer until the vegetables are tender, then remove the bouquet garni and star anise.
3. Meanwhile: Place all the soup ingredients into a roasting tin. Cover with tin foil and cook for 30 minutes or until the fruit and vegetables are soft and tender.
4. Once the stock and the roasted vegetables are done add the contents of the roasting tin to the stock along with another approximately 2 to 3 pints of water (enough to make about 4 pints of soup) and blend until smooth.
5. Add 2 generously heaped tablespoons of horseradish sauce (from a jar) and blend again.
6. Taste and add more horseradish and seasoning if required.

Enjoy it. Perfect for vegetarians.
