Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, coarsely chopped
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 pounds beets, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 can (14 1/2 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 to 3 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven or pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion. Season with salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add beets, broth, and enough water (4 to 5 cups) to cover. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium, and simmer until beets are tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Using a blender or an immersion blender, puree broth and vegetables until smooth. If using a blender, work in batches and fill only halfway, allowing heat to escape: Remove cap from hole in lid, cover lid firmly with a dish towel, and blend. Transfer to a clean pot as you work. Adjust soup's consistency with a little water if necessary. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.

This soup is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend adding less sugar, or omitting it altogether.

I'm not a big fan of beets, but this soup was surprisingly good. The sweetness of the beets was balanced out by the acidity of the tomatoes, and the pureed texture was very smooth and creamy.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover beets. I had some roasted beets that I didn't know what to do with, so I decided to try this recipe. The soup turned out great! It's creamy, flavorful, and very easy to make.

I made this soup for a dinner party and it was a hit! Everyone loved the vibrant color and the unique flavor. I served it with a side of crusty bread and a salad, and it was the perfect meal for a cold winter night.

This soup was a delightful surprise! I love beets, but I've never had them pureed before. The texture was smooth and creamy, and the flavor was earthy and sweet. I added a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh dill, which really took it to the
