This Beetroot Soup is a deliciously vibrant treat, with gentle spices and creamy coconut milk. The perfect recipe for using up a crop of beetroot, great for batch cooking and freezing, and naturally gluten free, dairy free and vegan.
This Easy Beetroot Soup is Gluten & Dairy Free
- Why choose this recipe? Unlike borscht, the traditional soup you might make with beetroot, this is a creamy, lightly curried soup. The coconut milk makes it super creamy without any dairy too!
- Top Tip: Make a big batch of this coconut beetroot soup and portion it up for the freezer. That way you can microwave from frozen for an easy meal!
- Serving Suggestions: Scatter some gluten free croutons over the top of this beetroot soup, or dish it up with buttered slices of gluten free bread or a soft gluten free bread roll. It’s also great with gluten free flatbreads or gluten free cheese doughballs too!
- Updated for 2025: This recipe was first published in 2018, so I’ve refreshed the photos and added some new step-by-step shots for 2025!

Ingredients and Substitutions
There’s a printable recipe card below for this easy vegan beetroot soup with the full quantities. But here are the main ingredients and ideas for any swaps.
- Beetroot: I use precooked beetroots for ease, but you can use raw and either roast or steam the beetroot in chunks before making this soup.
- Potatoes: Any white potato will work, or use a sweet potato for a different flavour.
- Red Onion
- Vegetable Stock: Always ensure you’re using a gluten free stock cube or pot like Knorr. You can also use chicken stock if you don’t need a vegan recipe.
- Coconut Milk: I prefer full-fat tinned coconut milk, but light coconut milk will also work.
- Spices: I use garlic granules, chilli flakes and cumin for a fragrant flavour. Feel free to use fresh garlic, and omit the chilli flakes for a milder taste.
- Coconut Oil: Or any oil of choice, for frying. I just prefer to add to the coconut taste!
