Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium beets
- 1 medium onion
- 2 medium carrot
- 2 large celery stalks
- 2 cloves garlic
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Scrub and peel the beets. Dice them into small cubes, about 1/2 inch in size.
Peel and chop the onion, slice the carrots, and chop the celery stalks. Mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a large pot, combine the diced beets, onion, carrots, celery, and minced garlic.
Pour the vegetable broth into the pot, ensuring all ingredients are fully submerged. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 35 minutes or until all vegetables are tender.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, you may transfer soup in batches to a blender to puree.
Stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Garnish each serving with freshly chopped dill and serve warm.
