MY POLISH FAMILY'S RED BEET SOUP
This is the red beet soup that I grew up eating. I make it for my family now, my mother still makes it, her mother made it, and probably her mother made it too. So very rich and good. This is comfort food for me, especially when I am homesick.

RED BEET SOUP
After having a bowl of wonderful light beet soup at a Russian friend's home, I tried to recreate it by tweaking a recipe I had found. This recipe comes pretty close, but I haven't tried making it yet. Later I learned that this is a cold borscht and is called "svekolnik" in Russian. Sometimes boiled diced potatoes are also added, but these are cooked separately from the beets.

Tips for Making Cream of Red Beet Soup:
- To enhance the flavor of the soup, roast the beets before adding them to the soup. This caramelizes the natural sugars in the beets and brings out their earthy sweetness. - Use a variety of beets for a more vibrant color and flavor. Golden beets and Chioggia beets add a beautiful golden-red hue, while bull's blood beets give the soup a deep purple color. - Don't overcook the beets. They should be tender but still have a slight bite to them. - If you don't have time to roast the beets, you can also boil them. However, roasting brings out a more intense flavor. - Use a good quality vegetable broth for the soup. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the soup. - If you want a creamier soup, add a cup of heavy cream or coconut cream at the end of cooking. - Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of fresh herbs, and a crusty bread or crackers.Conclusion:
Cream of red beet soup is a delicious and healthy soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover beets. This versatile soup can be served hot or cold, and it is also a great base for other dishes, such as beet risotto or beet burgers. With its vibrant color, earthy flavor, and numerous health benefits, cream of red beet soup is a soup that everyone should try.
