A bracing squirt of lime -- a culinary touch borrowed from Latin American and Southeast Asian soup makers -- brightens the whole bowl.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium leeks, white and pale-green parts only, halved lengthwise, cut into 1/4-inch half-moons, and rinsed well
Coarse salt
2 bunches small golden beets (about 3 pounds with greens) peeled and cut lengthwise into 3/4-inch wedges (about 5 cups)
1 bunch medium carrots (about 8 carrots; 12 ounces), peeled and cut on the diagonal into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 yellow bell pepper, ribs and seeds removed, flesh cut into 1/2-inch pieces
7 cups homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, plus 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice, plus lime wedges for serving
Freshly ground pepper
8 chives, cut into 1-inch pieces, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add leeks and a pinch of salt. Partially cover, and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until leeks are soft, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in beets, carrots, bell pepper, and stock. Raise heat to medium-high; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer, partially covered, until beets and carrots are tender, 50 to 60 minutes.
  • Stir in lime juice, and season with salt and pepper. Divide soup among 4 bowls; garnish each with chives and a lime.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out bland and watery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

I'm not usually a fan of beets, but this soup changed my mind. The sweetness of the beets and the creaminess of the coconut milk were a match made in heaven.

This golden beet soup was a delightful surprise! The vibrant color and earthy flavor of the beets were perfectly complemented by the creamy coconut milk and tangy lime juice. I added a bit of extra ginger for a spicy kick, and it was perfection.
