Beets bring a sweet flavor and a bright pink color to this soup. If you’re able to buy beets with the greens intact, braise them and serve them with the soup and fresh whole-grain bread.
Ingredients
- 1 tsp. olive oil
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 4 cups fat-free, low-sodium vegetable broth
- 2 cups water
- ½ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- 3 medium beets, peeled and halved
- 1 medium potato, peeled and halved crosswise
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tsp. lemon juice
- 8 tsp. reduced-fat sour cream
Directions
- Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion; sauté until tender (3 minutes).
- Add broth and next 6 ingredients (through bay leaf). Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, until beets and potato are tender (20 minutes). Discard bay leaf.
- Place one-third broth mixture in blender or food processor; process until smooth. Place pureed mixture in a large bowl. Repeat procedure twice with remaining broth mixture.
- Return pureed mixture to pan. Warm soup over low heat until thoroughly heated (5 minutes). Remove from heat, and stir in lemon juice.
- Combine 1/2 cup soup and the sour cream, stirring with a whisk. Divide soup evenly among each of 8 bowls. Top each serving with 1 tablespoon sour cream mixture; swirl sour cream mixture using the tip of a knife.
