Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized beets
- 2 large carrots
- 2 medium potatoes
- 1 large onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoons (adjust to taste) black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- sour cream (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and dice the beets, carrots, and potatoes into small cubes for even cooking.
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the diced beets, carrots, and potatoes. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Once the vegetables are cooked, use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. If using a countertop blender, allow the soup to cool slightly before blending in batches.
Stir in the chopped dill, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Ladle the soup into bowls and optionally garnish with a dollop of sour cream and extra fresh dill.
Serve hot and enjoy your vibrant and comforting Red Root Soup!
