Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 medium fresh beets (about 2 pounds without tops)
Kosher salt
2 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
16 ounces sour cream, plus extra for serving
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Steps:

  • Place the beets in a large pot of boiling salted water and cook uncovered until the beets are tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove the beets to a bowl with a slotted spoon and set aside to cool. Strain the cooking liquid through a fine sieve and also set aside to cool.

CHILLED BEET AND BUTTERMILK SOUP



Chilled Beet and Buttermilk Soup image

I got this recipe from Anna Olson's show "Fresh" on the Food Network. When I saw Anna make the soup, it reminded me of the cold beet soup my favorite aunt used to make so I just had to try it! I served it with sliced hard boiled egg on top (like my aunt). Both hubby and I loved it on this hot, summer afternoon. NOTE - I used 3/4 cup (roughly) of mini carrots instead of dicing them. My soup took upwards of 1hour & 15 minutes to cook - so I think it depends on how fresh your beets actually are. Also - I omitted the dill (as dh is "anti-dill" and didn't s & p until just before serving. I also didn't strain the soup as I wanted a more rustic soup. Cooking time does not include chilling time.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beets: Look for beets that are small and firm, with smooth skin and deep red color. Avoid beets that are large, soft, or have blemishes.
  • Roast the beets before using them: Roasting the beets intensifies their flavor and makes them easier to peel. To roast the beets, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Trim the tops and roots of the beets, then toss them with olive oil and salt. Wrap the beets in aluminum foil and roast them for 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender. Once the beets are cool enough to handle, peel and chop them.
  • Use a good quality buttermilk: Buttermilk is a key ingredient in this soup, so it's important to use a good quality buttermilk. Look for buttermilk that is fresh and has a slightly tangy flavor.
  • Chill the soup before serving: This soup is best served chilled. You can chill the soup for at least 2 hours before serving, or you can make it the day before and chill it overnight.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as dill, chives, or cilantro, add a nice flavor and color to this soup.

Conclusion:

This chilled golden beet and buttermilk soup is a delicious and refreshing summer soup. It's easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The soup is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. So next time you're looking for a light and healthy soup, give this chilled golden beet and buttermilk soup a try.
