CHILLED GOLDEN BEET AND BUTTERMILK SOUP



Chilled Golden Beet and Buttermilk Soup image

The beauty of this quick, simple soup recipe is in its layers of bright and carefully balanced acidity. Golden beets, puréed with buttermilk and lemon juice, have a sweet, gentle twang; Erin French, a chef from Freedom, Me., takes things even further, garnishing each bowl with fresh herbs, finely chopped shallots macerated in rice wine vinegar, and dollops of sour cream. Serve this soup as a side or with crusty, garlic-rubbed grilled bread to make it a meal.

1 tablespoon finely chopped shallots
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for serving
Ground black pepper
2 1/2 pounds golden beets (about 8 to 10 medium-size beets)
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
2 cups buttermilk
1/2 lemon, juiced (about 1 tablespoon)
Small handful of basil leaves, for serving
Small handful of dill fronds, for serving
1/3 to 1/2 cup sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine chopped shallots and vinegar and let macerate for 20 minutes. Whisk in 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with a few grinds of black pepper. Set aside.
  • Put beets in a large pot over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon salt and enough water to cover. Boil for 25 to 40 minutes, depending on size, until tender when poked with the tip of a knife. Drain beets and let cool, then peel off the skins with your fingers.

Cut the remaining beets into large chunks and purée in a blender with buttermilk and lemon juice until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate for 1 hour, or until completely cool.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and drizzle with a teaspoon of olive oil. Serve with marinated beets, herbs and sour cream on the side, so people can garnish their own bowls as they like.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beets: Golden beets are best for this soup, as they have a sweeter and milder flavor than red beets. Look for beets that are firm and smooth, with no blemishes.
  • Roast the beets before blending: Roasting the beets concentrates their flavor and makes them easier to blend. You can roast the beets whole or cut them into chunks.
  • Use a high-powered blender: A high-powered blender will ensure that the soup is smooth and creamy. If you don't have a high-powered blender, you can use a regular blender, but you may need to blend the soup in batches.
  • Add some acidity: A little bit of acidity, such as lemon juice or vinegar, will help to balance out the sweetness of the beets. You can also add some chopped fresh herbs, such as dill or parsley, for extra flavor.
  • Serve the soup warm or cold: Beet soup can be served warm or cold, depending on your preference. If you're serving the soup cold, be sure to chill it for at least 2 hours before serving.
