Super nutritious soup with really simple ingredients and seasoned with healthy Japanese miso paste, giving it a rich umami flavor. This miso beetroot soup is not only pretty in colors, it's packed full of great healthy flavorful ingredients! I love making a batch, then freeze it and just warm it up for a quick warm lunch over the next few days.
Heat cooking oil over medium fire. Add onions and saute until slightly caramelized. Then add beetroot and cook for about 3 minutes.
