Fall Harvest Potato Beet Soup

Fall Harvest Potato Beet Soup

Sharing is caring!

I’ve been so excited for our Flavors of Fall event to start and it’s finally here! As we head into Fall, soup has been calling my name.  Escpecially since we *could* get our first snow of the season overnight tonight! This recipe for Potato Beet Soup is giving me all the feels today because I love potatoes! With a last name like Finnegan, how could I not?! Potatoes are one of the few starches allowed on a Paleo, Whole30, and 21-day Sugar Detox diet, so they regularly make an appearance in my house! They’re also a great option for those of you who are high preforming athletes, like my brother. Have I ever mentioned he’s a USA Olympic climbing hopeful? He also works for the United States Olympic Center here in Colorado Springs in the nutrition department. I’m quite proud of him, can you tell? 😉

Why are potatoes considered Paleo? Because they’re one of the few non-processed carbohydrate sources on Earth. Unlike rice or wheat, we don’t do anything to modify the structure of potatoes before they go on the market. Every year, my family heads to an all-organic farm to pick a TON of produce and potatoes are one of the crops we stock up on. They last for months in my pantry! So my potatoes come straight from the ground and into my recipes! I love that. I’m a huge fan of the Farm-to-Table movement. I love the feeling that I picked this vegetable, I washed and prepared it, I created a recipe with it. I know exactly where this potato came from and what was done to eat before I ate it, nothing. No pesticides, no GMO, nothing. That’s amazing to me!

Did you know that one potato contains 30% of your daily vitamin C requirements? It also has 620 mg of potassium (more than a banana!), no fat or cholesterol, and is super high in electrolytes. Electrolytes are needed for athletic recovery as it aids in muscle and cardiovascular recovery. That’s why you see athletes with those sports drinks like Gatorade. They’re pumped full of electrolytes! But they’re also full of refined sugars and additives. Not a potato! They’re a wonderful, natural source of those electrolytes you need!

As we head in to fall, soup is one of my favorite dishes. I rarely make soup during the summer (who wants to eat soup when it’s 90 degrees out?) so I look forward to the cooler weather and those fall harvest vegetables. Beets and potatoes are a perfect fall addition to the menu. This Potato Beet soup is a great meal idea for after those high-intensity workouts, when all you’ll want to do is curl up and be cozy! Pair it with a couple of my Keto cornbread muffins for the perfect Fall meal!
