We spend the weekend on the little hill one block away, sliding down the slope, with\u00a0snow ball fights and a lot of laughter. The boys just LOVE snow, and so do we.<\/p>\n<p>First thing in the morning is to run to\u00a0the windows and check the snow conditions&#8230; &#8220;Can we go outside? Now?&#8221; How great it would be to live in a house with a great garden right next to it&#8230; at least in those moments. But hey, living in the city is cool as well and while I went running with some girls in the park, the boys had fun in our little courtyard.<\/p>\n<h4>Beetroot soup love<\/h4>\n<p>I guess you can remember my fond <a href=\"https:\/\/madewithaloha.de\/beet-root-tartes-feta\/\" target=\"_blank\">love for beetroot<\/a>&#8230; I haven&#8217;t posted a recipe with beetroot for a while, so today it is a warming beetroot soup, made out of 3 ingredients, but oh so flavorful.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/madewithaloha.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_0006.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7762\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7762\" src=\"https:\/\/madewithaloha.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_0006.jpg\" alt=\"Beetroot soup\" width=\"900\" height=\"1350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/madewithaloha.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_0006.jpg 900w, https:\/\/madewithaloha.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_0006-667x1000.jpg 667w, https:\/\/madewithaloha.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_0006-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/madewithaloha.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_0006-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/madewithaloha.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_0006-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/madewithaloha.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_0006-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/madewithaloha.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_0006-460x690.jpg 460w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>All you need is beetroot, a can of coconut milk, salt and some sprouts if you like them. The secret to get all the great aroma out of the beets, is to slowly roast them before puree them with the coconut milk. For me the hardest part is, not to snack the roasted beets right away from the baking tin. Mhh, such an earthy yet sweet flavor!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/madewithaloha.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_0021.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7760\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7760\" src=\"https:\/\/madewithaloha.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_0021.jpg\" alt=\"beetrootsoup with salad\" width=\"900\" height=\"1350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/madewithaloha.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_0021.jpg 900w, https:\/\/madewithaloha.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_0021-667x1000.jpg 667w, https:\/\/madewithaloha.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_0021-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/madewithaloha.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_0021-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/madewithaloha.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_0021-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/madewithaloha.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_0021-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/madewithaloha.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_0021-460x690.jpg 460w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The soup will warm you up, it gives you the feeling to treat your body after a winter walk or felt hours of snowball fights with the kids. The color is unbelievable cool as always with beets. What a contrast to the white snowy landscape.

Just hold half of a pomegranate upside down in our hand over a bowl and knock on the skin. The seeds will easily come\u00a0out&#8230;). Cut all vegetables you use into small pieces and mix all ingredients together.
