2Soirée 24cm Signature Round Casserole, soften the garlic, onions and leeks in olive oil for 5 minutes over a low heat. Add the apples, beetroot and cumin and cook for a further 5-10 minutes on a medium heat.

3Pour in the stock to cover the beetroots. Add more stock or water continuously as you cook, ensuring that the beetroots are always submerged so that they cook evenly. Simmer on a medium heat for approx. 45 minutes ? the beetroots need to be tender to ensure the smoothest soup.

4Once the beetroots are soft, remove from the heat. Leave aside to cool. Transfer to a food processor and blend until smooth, add the crème fraîche and blend again. Pour back into the cleaned casserole and slowly bring back to a simmer. Season to taste and stir through more crème fraîche if you like.
