ROASTED BEET AND POTATO SOUP
I adapted this from a vegetarian soup while my twin toddlers were going through a soup-only phase. They love it. Luckily the rest of the family enjoys it too! It's a nice hearty puree, super-easy to put together, especially if you roast the potatoes and beets beforehand.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place the potatoes and beets into a baking dish, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil; season with salt and black pepper.
- Roast in the preheated oven until tender, about 1 hour; allow to cool.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat, and stir in the celery, onion, and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Mix in the cooked vegetables, chicken broth, thyme, and bay leaf, bring to a boil, and reduce heat. Simmer until the celery is very tender, about 45 minutes.
- Remove from heat, and discard the bay leaf. Puree the mixture in the pot with an immersion blender until very well blended; stir in the milk and lemon juice to serve.

Steps:

- Peel beets; cut into 1-inch pieces and place in blender. Add milk, 2 tablespoons onion, 2 tablespoons chopped dill and vinegar; blend until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate soup until cold, about 1 hour.
- Peel potatoes and cut into 1/4-inch dice. Place in medium bowl. Add remaining 2 tablespoons each of onion and chopped dill. Fold in yogurt. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover beet soup and potato salad separately and refrigerate.) Ladle beet soup into 4 bowls. Top with potato salad; garnish with dill sprigs.
ROASTED BEET AND POTATO SOUP
I recently roasted five pounds of beets and have been using them for side dishes. I decided to make soup last night, and it turned out quite nice. You may get more servings, but we really like our soup and 4 servings is all I got. I am sure that canned beets would also work quite well. I like evaporated milk because it brings richness with fewer calories, but half-and-half would also be good. I don't usually have fresh celery, but 1/2 cup of chopped celery could be used instead of the flakes and 1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper instead of the peppercorns. Add an hour to the cooking time if you need to roast fresh beets.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan, and add the onions and garlic clove. Saute until the onions are transparent, but not browned.
- Add all the remaining ingredients, except for the evaporated milk, and enough broth to cover by about 1/2 inch.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered, for about 25 minutes, or until all the veggies are quite soft. Stir from time to time.
- Remove from heat and fish out the bay leaf.
- Puree with a immersion blender (or in a regular blender in batches).
- Add the milk and more broth, if needed, and return to the stove until just heated through.
- Note: The amount of broth will depend a bit on the exact amount of veggies and how thick you like your soup. Also, you will need to add broth or water, most likely, when reheating the next day. This is nice with a garnish of plain yogurt or sour cream.
Tips:
- To save time, use pre-cooked beets. You can find them in the produce section of most grocery stores.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the beets and potatoes by hand.
- Be sure to season the soup to taste. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder.
- Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
Conclusion:
Roasted beet and potato soup is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a comforting and nutritious soup, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
