1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely sliced
4 x 250g packs booked beetroot in natural juices, roughly chopped, juices reserved

Soup is the perfect winter warmer and makes a great replacement for high-calorie stodgy comfort food. The chia seeds provide a good dose of healthy omega 3 fats, which are essential for brain health and mood. Chia also comes with protein and fibre, both of which help to keep you feeling fuller for longer.
Method:
Heat the oil in a large pan and fry onion and garlic. Add chopped beetroot and juices along with the stock. Simmer for 5-7 minutes.
Take pan off heat, stir in chia seeds and beetroot powder. Let the soup cool slightly then blend soup until smooth with a hand-held blender.
Return to heat and warm through.
Combine Greek yoghurt and horseradish in a bowl. Dish the soup into a bowl and swirl in a spoonful of sauce and garnish with dill.
