Best 6 Pureed Beet Soup Recipes

BEET SOUP

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

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375˚ F. To make clean up easier, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Wash beets, slice off each end and peel. Dice peeled beets into ½-inch pieces. Toss with 1-2 tbsp of olive oil to coat and sprinkle with some salt and pepper. Roast for 30-35 minutes, until fork tender. Stir once or twice while roasting.
• Preheat a large soup pot over medium heat. Add 2 tbsp olive oil and once heated, add in onions and sauté for 5-6 minutes.
• Once onions are softened, add garlic, potatoes, carrots, salt, and pepper and stir well. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add roasted beets, apple, and broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then lower to medium heat and cover. Simmer for 20 minutes, until potatoes are tender.
• Carefully transfer soup to a heat safe blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Add lemon juice and milk and blend for another 30 seconds. Alternatively, keep the soup in a pot and blend with an immersion blender.
• Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Pour soup back into the pot and stir in the fresh dill. Cook for additional 5 minutes over low heat.
• Serve hot topped with a drizzle of olive oil, fresh dill and bread.

CREAMY BEET SOUP WITHOUT ALL THE CREAM

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.

Steps:

• Warm olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in onions and garlic; cook until soft but not browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in beets, and cook for 1 minute.
• Stir in stock, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; cover, and simmer until the beets are tender, about 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat, and allow to cool slightly.
• In batches, add soup to a food processor, and pulse until liquefied. Return soup to saucepan, and gently heat through. Ladle into bowls, and garnish with a swirl of cream.

EASY TOMATO-BEET SOUP

Steps:

• Puree tomatoes, beets, tomato paste, and 1/2 cup beef stock together in a blender until smooth.
• Pour tomato mixture into a saucepan with the remaining beef stock. Stir sugar, dill, hot pepper sauce, salt, and pepper into the tomato mixture.
• Bring the soup to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until the flavors meld, about 30 minutes.

PUREED BEET SOUP

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.
