Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons snipped dill
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3 large shallots, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
2 small parsnips (about 4 ounces), peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
1/2 small celeriac (about 6 ounces), peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
2 small carrots (about 3 ounces), peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
4 cups canned low-sodium or Homemade Chicken Stock, skimmed of fat
8 sprigs fresh tarragon
2 medium beets (about 8 ounces), peeled, cut in half, and sliced 1/2 inch thick
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a small stockpot over medium-low heat. Add the shallots, parsnips, celeriac, carrots, and salt and pepper to taste, and saute until the shallots are translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add the chicken stock, tarragon, and 1 1/2 cups water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low; simmer until vegetables are al dente, 5 to 6 minutes. Add beets; cook until vegetables are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove and discard tarragon sprigs, and stir in lemon juice. Serve immediately, garnished with dill.
