Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Put the potato and beetroot on a baking tray, sprinkle over the caraway seeds and drizzle with 1 tbsp oil. Season, then stir to coat. Roast for 35 mins, stirring halfway, or until soft and turning golden.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a saucepan over a medium heat. Fry the onion for 12 mins, stirring frequently, adding the garlic for the final min. Stir in the roasted veg, then add the stock, season and simmer for 10 mins.
  3. Remove from the heat, then blitz until smooth with a stick blender. Divide between bowls, top with the crumbled feta, dill, extra caraway seeds, if using, and a twist of black pepper. Serve with buttered toast, if you like.

Tip: Roast the veg up to a day ahead. Store the soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
