Recipe type: Soup
Serves: 2
Ingredients
  • 4 red beets (about 8 ounces)
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives or green onion
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 ounces crumbled goat cheese or sour cream (optional)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Wash beets and slice off stems and root ends. Wrap each beet in a piece of foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake 1 hour.
  3. Remove from oven and allow to become cool enough to handle. With a paper towel, rub off skin of each beet. This may require multiple paper towels. Slice off the dark, dry ends.
  4. Place roasted beets, broth, chives or green onion, thyme, olive oil, and salt in a blender. Remove center cap from blender to allow steam to escape, and place a dish towel or paper towel over the opening. Blend until smooth.
  5. Place soup in a saucepan over medium heat until heated through and steaming, 5 to 10 minutes.
