How’s it going my friends?

I really enjoy this time of the year (Fall). The weather is just perfect, not too hot not too cold. Don’t get me wrong, the summers in Montreal are great, but I like the Fall far better. During the Fall, I usually sleep better, I sweat a lot less and I cook lots of yummy things.

Like soup.

The Inspiration: Moroccan Beet Salad & Borscht

I know, at first glance, you’re probably wondering: “what does Borscht have to do with some Moroccan recipe?”

The answer: a lot more than you think.

My wife Lea enjoys Borscht a lot and as you probably suspect, she’s the one who introduced me to it. I had no idea what it was, all I know is I loved everything about it.

Borscht also felt very familiar to me, I never had a beet soup before, but all I remember is this great warm feeling that was very familiar to me.

Then I remembered the classic Moroccan beet salad that I used to love as a kid. A light went on in my head and I had to come up with a recipe that would perfectly combine the two.

And thus, the Moroccan-Style Beet Soup was born.

Knowing that beets are quite sweet, I balanced that sweetness with a touch of spice to get that typical Moroccan sweet and savory vibe.

However, if you can’t handle the heat, you can of course lower the amount of cayenne. It also goes without saying that you can tweak and change this recipe as you wish to fit your own taste and preferences.
