Thai Style Beetroot & Coconut Soup Review: A Flavour Adventure Worth Trying

If you're tired of the same old lunchtime soups and crave something with a bit of personality, Purition's Thai Style Beetroot & Coconut Soup might be exactly what you need. This isn't your standard instant soup — it's a flavour adventure that brings together earthy beetroot, creamy coconut, and aromatic Thai spices in a single, convenient sachet.

As part of Purition's growing soup range, this offering stands out for its bold, exotic profile. In this review, we'll dive into the taste, texture, nutritional value, and how it fits into a healthy, high-protein lifestyle. Whether you're a seasoned Purition fan or new to the brand, read on to see if this soup deserves a spot in your pantry.

First Impressions: Aroma and Appearance

Opening the sachet, the first thing that hits you is the fragrant blend of coconut and lemongrass, with a subtle earthiness from the beetroot. The powder itself is a vibrant pinkish-purple, which immediately suggests something different from the usual brown or green soup mixes. Once mixed with hot water, it transforms into a smooth, creamy soup with a beautiful deep magenta hue — visually striking and appetising.

The consistency is just right: thick enough to feel satisfying but not so heavy that it feels like a meal replacement shake. It's clearly designed to be a proper lunch, not just a thin broth. The aroma intensifies as you stir, promising a complex flavour profile that's both sweet and savoury.

• Vibrant pink-purple colour from natural beetroot powder
• Aromatic notes of coconut, lemongrass, and mild chilli
• Smooth, creamy texture with no gritty residue

Taste Test: Sweet, Savoury, and Spicy

The first sip delivers a gentle sweetness from the beetroot and coconut, quickly followed by a warming kick of Thai-inspired spice. The balance is impressive: the coconut creaminess mellows the beetroot's earthiness, while the ginger and lemongrass add freshness. It's not overwhelmingly spicy — more of a pleasant warmth that lingers on the palate.

Compared to other Purition soups like the Mexican Style Tomato & Red Pepper Soup, this one is more adventurous. Where the Mexican option is familiar and comforting, the Thai Style Beetroot & Coconut Soup feels like a mini-escape to Southeast Asia. It pairs beautifully with a squeeze of lime or a handful of fresh coriander if you want to elevate it further.

• Sweetness from beetroot balanced by savoury coconut and spice
• Mild heat level — suitable for those who enjoy gentle warmth
• Pairs well with fresh lime juice or chopped herbs

Nutritional Profile: A Healthy Lunch Option

Purition's soups are known for their clean ingredient lists and high protein content, and this one is no exception. Each serving provides around 20g of protein, thanks to a blend of pea and brown rice protein. It's also packed with fibre from flaxseed and chicory root, keeping you full and satisfied for hours.

Beetroot itself is a nutritional powerhouse, rich in nitrates that support healthy blood flow and stamina. Coconut adds medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) for sustained energy. With no added sugars, artificial flavours, or preservatives, this soup fits perfectly into a balanced diet. For those who prefer plant-based options, it's worth noting that the Thai Style Beetroot & Coconut Soup is vegan-friendly, just like the Purition Vegan 4-Bag Multipack.

• Approximately 20g protein per serving from plant sources
• High fibre content from flaxseed and chicory root
• No added sugars, artificial flavours, or preservatives

How It Compares to Other Purition Soups

Purition's soup range offers a variety of flavours, from the classic Mushroom, Thyme & Black Pepper Soup With Lion's Mane Mushroom to the zesty Mexican Style Tomato & Red Pepper Soup. The Thai Style Beetroot & Coconut Soup sits comfortably in the 'exotic' category, offering a unique taste that's hard to find in other instant soups.

If you're new to Purition soups, you might want to start with a sampler like the Premium Instant Soup Variety Pack (15 Servings) to explore the range. But if you're already a fan and looking for something different, this Thai-inspired option is a refreshing change. It's also a great way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet without sacrificing flavour or convenience.

• Unique flavour profile compared to other Purition soups
• Vegan-friendly and suitable for plant-based diets
• Ideal for those who enjoy Thai cuisine and exotic flavours

How to Prepare and Enjoy It

Preparation couldn't be simpler: empty the sachet into a mug or bowl, add 200ml of boiling water, stir well, and wait two minutes. That's it. For a more substantial meal, you can add a handful of spinach, some cooked quinoa, or a poached egg on top. The soup's creamy texture also makes it a great base for a quick curry-style broth — just add some leftover vegetables and a dash of coconut milk.

For those who like to meal prep, you can double the batch and refrigerate it for the next day. It reheats well, though you may need to add a splash of water to restore the consistency. It's also portable — just take a sachet to work and you have a healthy, satisfying lunch in minutes.

• Simply add boiling water and stir — ready in 2 minutes
• Customise with extra veggies, protein, or herbs
• Great for meal prep and on-the-go lunches

If you're ready to step outside your soup comfort zone, the Thai Style Beetroot & Coconut Soup is a delicious and nutritious choice. Its bold flavours, high protein content, and clean ingredients make it a standout option for lunch or a light dinner.
