Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium fresh beets (about 1 lb), peeled and diced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • ½ cup heavy cream (optional) or coconut milk for a dairy-free option
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill or thyme, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Wash the beets thoroughly, trim greens, and dice them.
  2. Sauté aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add chopped onions and minced garlic, cooking until translucent (about 5 minutes).
  3. Add beets and broth: Stir in diced beets and vegetable broth. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer until beets are tender (approximately 30 minutes).
  4. Blend until smooth: Use an immersion blender or transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender until silky smooth.
  5. Season: Return the blended soup to the pot; stir in salt, pepper, and fresh herbs. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
  6. Serve: Ladle into bowls and drizzle with cream if desired. Garnish with fresh herbs or croutons.

Nutrition

Keywords: For deeper flavor, roast the beets before dicing. Swap vegetable broth for chicken broth or add a splash of orange juice for brightness. This soup stores well in the fridge for up to five days or can be frozen for up to three months.
