Red, ripe, naturally sweet - I love them picked or steamed, in salads and soups. One of my favorite summer foods from my childhood was my mom's pickled eggs & beets, the eggs stained burgundy with the vinegary sweetness of the beet-infused pickling liquid.
This time, I whipped up a quick beet soup - it's super simple and, if you omit the yogurt or sour cream garnish, it's vegan too!
You'll Need:
2 medium sized red beets, peeled and diced into 1/2" cubes
1/2 one yellow onion, chopped
3-5 cloves garlic, chopped
1tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 tsp lemon zest
White pepper
Black pepper
Sea salt
For the Garnish:
Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
Fresh dill (or parsley)
Add beets, onion, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper to a medium saucepan.
Fill with water just to the top of the beets, and bring to a boil.
Simmer until the beets are fork tender (the softness you'd want potatoes to be for mashed potatoes)
Add lemon zest just at the end, and remove from the heat.
Using a stick (immersion) blender, puree until smooth.
Garnish with Greek yogurt, or sour cream, and some fresh dill.
Enjoy!
