• Author: Lynne Webb
• Prep Time: 15 minutes
• Cook Time: 50 minutes
• Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
• Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

• 3 pounds beets, washed and trimmed
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 medium onion, coarsely chopped
• Salt and pepper
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 cups vegetable stock
• 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• Sour cream
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the beets. Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes or until the beets are tender when pierced with a knife. Drain and allow them to cool enough to handle. Peel and cut them into chunks and set aside.
2. Heat the oil in a small skillet over medium heat, add the onion, salt and pepper to taste and cook until tender and barely golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes longer.
3. Put the onion mixture and the beets in a blender. Add 2-1/2 cups of the vegetable stock and puree until smooth. Add the orange juice, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Add more stock if necessary to achieve the desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning.
4. Chill the soup thoroughly – several hours is best. Before serving, ladle the soup into individual serving bowls. Garnish each with about 2 teaspoons of sour cream and a sprinkling of fresh chopped dill.

Recipe Notes:

If you are not a fan of dill, add a few chopped chives instead.
