Silky Roasted Beet Soup

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Soups
Many know beets only as pickles, but as a soup, they reveal their true character: deep, earthy sweetness made exciting by the richness of cream and a touch of acid (lemon or vinegar). This ruby-red soup is a vitamin bomb, velvety smooth thanks to pureeing.

Instructions

1 ✓

Peel and cube the beets and onion. Melt the butter and sauté the onion until translucent.

Tip: Beets are hard vegetables; cut them as small as possible to cook faster.
2 ✓

Add the beets and crushed garlic, stir well, then pour in the stock.

Tip: Sautéing concentrates the flavors before adding the liquid.
3 ✓

Simmer covered until the beets are completely tender (approx. 20-25 minutes).

Tip: It's ready when a fork slides in without resistance.
4 ✓

Puree with an immersion blender until perfectly smooth, then stir in the cream and lemon juice. Bring to a brief boil.

Tip: The fat in the cream rounds out the earthy taste of the beets, while the lemon highlights it.

Recipe FAQ

How do I keep the color vibrant?
Beet pigments are heat-sensitive, but acid (lemon juice) helps stabilize the beautiful purple hue.
How can I thicken it?
The beets thicken it naturally, but you can add a potato, which adds creaminess through its starch.
