Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium beets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by peeling and dicing the beets into 1-inch cubes.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot, sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the cubed beets to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the vegetable broth, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes or until the beets are tender.
Once the beets are cooked, remove the pot from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, blend in batches in a countertop blender, ensuring not to overfill the blender with hot liquid.
Stir in the coconut milk, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Chill the soup in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly chilled.
Serve in bowls, and garnish with fresh dill before serving. Enjoy cold.
