BEET SOUP WITH TARRAGON, CHIVES AND YOGURT



Beet Soup With Tarragon, Chives and Yogurt image

Freshly cooked beets, though they take a while to prepare (see Tip), are so delicious that they're worth the effort. Cook them the day before you need them and keep them in the fridge for up to a week, to use in salads or for a soup. For this borscht-inspired soup, a splash of vinegar tempers the beets' natural sweetness, which is perfectly complemented by a splash of tart herby yogurt. The good news is this soup may be served warm or chilled; each way is refreshing.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     dinner, soups and stews, appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 pounds cooked, peeled red beets, chopped (See Tip)
Salt and pepper
Pinch of ground cayenne
1/4 cup red-wine or apple cider vinegar, plus more to taste
8 cups water or broth
1 cup whole-milk yogurt
3 tablespoons chopped tarragon leaves
2 tablespoons thinly sliced chives

Steps:

  • Put olive oil in a heavy-bottomed soup pot or deep, wide skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, cook slowly, stirring, until softened, about 10 minutes.
  • Add beets and season generously with salt and pepper. Add a pinch of cayenne and pour in vinegar. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, then add water and raise heat to a brisk simmer. Taste broth and adjust. Cook for another 10 minutes, until beets are completely soft.
  • Purée in a blender, in batches if necessary, and strain through a fine-mesh sieve. (Consistency should be like heavy cream, no thicker - thin with water or broth as necessary). Return puréed soup to pot and reheat. In a small bowl, combine yogurt with tarragon and chives. Add a good pinch of salt and beat with a fork to loosen yogurt.
  • Taste soup, and adjust for salt and vinegar. Ladle into individual bowls. Swirl a large (2 to 3 tablespoons) spoonful of herbed yogurt across the surface of the soup.

Superb Yellow Pepper Soup image

I first tasted this sunny-looking soup with yellow peppers at a luncheon hosted by a good friend. It's simple and superb when served warm with a dollop of sour cream...or you can chill it for a refreshing change of pace in summer. -Linda Nilsen, Anoka, Minnesota

Tips:

- Use a ripe yellow bell pepper for the best flavor. - Roast the pepper until the skin is slightly charred and blistered. This will help to develop its sweetness and smoky flavor. - Peel the pepper while it is still hot. This will be much easier than peeling it once it has cooled. - Be sure to remove all of the seeds and ribs from the pepper. This will help to prevent the soup from being bitter. - Use a good quality olive oil for the best flavor. - Add a splash of lemon juice to brighten the flavors of the soup. - Garnish the soup with fresh chives or parsley before serving.
