Ingredients
- 500 grams beetroots
- 1 medium onion
- 2 units garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 750 milliliters vegetable broth
- 100 grams Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel and roughly chop the beetroots into small chunks for even cooking.
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped beetroots to the pot and stir to combine with the onions and garlic.
Pour the vegetable broth over the beetroots, ensuring they are fully submerged.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
Cover the pot and let the soup cook for 30 minutes, or until the beetroots are tender.
Once cooked, remove the pot from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
Using a blender or immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth and silky.
Stir in the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well incorporated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Reheat gently if needed, then serve hot.
Garnish each bowl with freshly chopped dill before serving.
