BEET SOUP



Beet Soup image

This beet soup recipe is made with red beets and potatoes and blended to create a rich, velvety creamy textured soup.

Provided by Stephanie Kay

Categories     Soup

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 large red beets, peeled and diced (roughly 1.5 lbs)
1 medium white potato, peeled and diced
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
Sour cream or crème fraîche
Dill, fresh

Steps:

  • In a large pot on medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add onion and garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes until onions are soft and translucent.
  • Add beets and potatoes, stir to coat with the onion mixture.
  • Add broth, just enough to cover the beets and stir until well combined. (Only add enough broth to cover the vegetables, you may need more or less depending on the size of your beets, as you don't want a runny soup and you can always add more at the end if needed.)
  • Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes until the beets are tender and can easily be pierced with a fork.
  • Once cooked, using an immersion blender or in batches using a bar blender, purée until smooth.
  • Once blended, season generously with additional salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream and a sprig of dill.
  • Any leftover soup can be cooled completely and stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

CREAMY BEET SOUP WITHOUT ALL THE CREAM



Creamy Beet Soup Without All the Cream image

This is a vibrant color of soup, deep crimson-red as only beets can be. And the taste is pure beet. The creaminess of this soup comes from the potato that is cooked with the beets -- there is no cream at all in the soup so the calorie count is light. I've eaten this hot, but it would be equally good cold, which would make it a wonderful soup for summer. Recipe from Cooking Light which calls this a "rich velvety soup which is a mild version of borscht -- without the cabbage."

Provided by Lorraine of AZ

Categories     Vegetable

Time 50m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 teaspoon olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
4 cups fat-free low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
3 beets, peeled and halved (I quartered mine)
1 medium baking potato, peeled and halved crosswise (I quartered mine)
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon lemon juice
8 teaspoons reduced-fat sour cream (I used 3 tablespoons)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a dutch oven or large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté 3 minutes or until tender.
  • Add broth and next 6 ingredients. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer uncovered 20 minutes or until the beets and potato are tender. Be sure to discard bay leaf at this point.
  • Puree mixture using an immersion blender. You may also use a blender or food processor, being sure to process in 3 batches. The blender will probably give the smoothest results, but I thought the immersion blender gave satisfactory results (plus was easy to use). Return pureed mixture to the pot if necessary. Warm soup over low heat 5 minutes. Remove and stir in lemon juice.
  • Remove 1/2 cup of the soup and transfer this into a small bowl. Combine it with the sour cream, stirring with a whisk.
  • Ladle the soup into individual bowls and top each serving with one tablespoon of the sour cream mixture. Using the tip of a knife, swirl the sour cream, making a pretty design.

CREAMY BEET WITH DILL SOUP



Creamy Beet With Dill Soup image

A pureed vegetable soup can be an impressive, easy and affordable first course for an elegant dinner, or even a light dinner on its own with salad and bread.

Provided by USA WEEKEND columnist Pam Anderson

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Vegetable Soup Recipes

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ pounds raw beets, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 large onion, cut into large dice
1 tablespoon butter
1 pinch sugar
3 large garlic cloves, thickly sliced
1 teaspoon toasted caraway seeds*
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 cups chicken broth, homemade or from a carton or can
2 tablespoons fresh dill
1 ½ cups half-and-half (or whole milk)
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Garnish: chopped hard-cooked egg

Steps:

  • Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large, deep saute pan until shimmering.
  • Add beets, then onion; saute, stirring very little at first, then more frequently, until squash start to turn golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low and add butter, sugar and garlic; continue cooking until all vegetables are a rich spotty caramel color, about 10 minutes longer.
  • Add caraway seeds and cayenne pepper; continue to saute until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute longer.
  • Add broth; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until beets are tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Using an immersion blender or traditional blender, puree (adding fresh dill) until very smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. (If using a traditional blender, vent it either by removing the lid's pop-out center or by lifting one edge of the lid. Drape the blender canister with a kitchen towel. To 'clean' the canister, pour in a little half-and-half, blend briefly, then add to the soup.)
  • Return to pan (or a soup pot); add enough half-and-half so the mixture is souplike, yet thick enough to float garnish. Taste, and add salt and pepper if needed. Heat through, ladle into bowls, garnish and serve.

Provided by FLKeysJen

Categories     Potato

Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
3 medium onions, chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 potato, peeled and chopped (about 1 cup)
1 garlic clove, minced
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans sliced beets, undrained

Steps:

  • Heat the butter in a 4-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until they're tender-crisp. Add the potato and garlic and cook for 1 minute.

  • Place 1/2 of the broth mixture into an electric blender or food processor container. Cover and blend until smooth. Pour into a medium bowl.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beets: Look for beets that are small to medium in size and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid beets that are large or have cracks or blemishes, as these may indicate that the beets are old or have been damaged.
  • Roast the beets before blending: Roasting the beets before blending them will help to concentrate their flavor and sweetness. To roast the beets, simply toss them with a little olive oil and salt, and then roast them in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 45 minutes, or until they are tender.
  • Use a high-powered blender: A high-powered blender will help to create a smooth and creamy soup. If you don't have a high-powered blender, you can also use a food processor, but you may need to blend the soup in batches.
  • Add flavor with spices and herbs: You can add flavor to the soup with a variety of spices and herbs. Some popular choices include cumin, coriander, ginger, garlic, and thyme. You can also add a little bit of lemon juice or vinegar to brighten the flavor of the soup.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: You can serve the soup with a variety of toppings, such as crumbled goat cheese, chopped walnuts, or a dollop of sour cream. You can also serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

Creamy beet soup is a delicious and healthy soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant color and earthy flavor, creamy beet soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
