A Cold Summer Soup of Beets and Pimento Pepper image

This is a wickedly-good concoction � a soup that�s perfect for summer! The colour is so beautiful � a deep, rich vermillion - and with a drizzle or dollop of dill-infused crème fraiche, it�s nearly too pretty to eat. Fortunately, the taste lives up to the stunning visual!

Time 10m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 lb cooked beets (2-3 beets, depending on their size)
1 pimento pepper (roasted, from a jar)
1 green onion (all of the white and 2 inches of the crisp green)
1/2 garlic clove
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup water
1/2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons creme fraiche or 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
1 1/2 teaspoons finely-minced fresh dill
2 sprigs fresh dill (for garnish)

Steps:

  • To make soup: Put all the soup ingredients in a blender. Process for 45-seconds to 1 minute, or until you have a completely smooth puree. Taste and adjust seasoning. Empty into a food-safe container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to marry flavours. (Can be made up to 2 days ahead).
  • To make Crème Fraiche Drizzle: Combine crème fraiche with finely-minced fresh dill. Refrigerate until ready to use. (Can be made up to 2 days ahead).
  • To serve: Serve soup in pretty white bowls, if you have them, as the colour is so amazing. Drizzle with the crème fraiche and top each with a fresh sprig of dill.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover beets. I had some roasted beets in the fridge, and this soup was the perfect way to use them up. It's also a really healthy soup, so I feel good about serving it to my family.
