Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium beets
- 2 medium carrots
- 1 large yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 bay leaf
Instructions
Peel and chop the beets into small, evenly-sized cubes. Peel the carrots and slice them thinly. Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the chopped beets, carrots, and bay leaf to the pot. Stir well to combine with the onion mixture.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover. Let the soup simmer for 30 minutes, or until the beets and carrots are fork-tender.
Once cooked, remove the bay leaf. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and puree.
Stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Finely chop fresh dill and garnish the soup. Serve hot, with extra dill on the side if desired.
