Peel and finely chop the onion. Sauté in a large pot with the oil. Peel the beetroot, wearing gloves to prevent discoloration, dice it, and add it. Sauté for a while, add a pinch of chili, and deglaze with white wine, then bring to a boil. Top up with orange juice and bring to a boil. Top up with stock and cook for about 10 minutes, until the beetroot is soft. Then add the cream and freshly grated ginger, bring back to a boil, and then puree. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired before serving. To serve: Ladle the finished soup into cups or deep plates, place a spoonful of sour cream in the center. Grate over some orange zest, and for those who like it a little spicier, sprinkle on some more chili. Enjoy!
