Ingredients
Roasted Vegetables
Soup Base
- 1 Tbsp Virgin Olive Oil extra
- 1 cup Vegetable Stock
- 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1 Tbsp Oregano dried
- Pepper black, freshly, ground, to taste
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cut the beets and tomatoes into wedges. Roughly chop the onion, ginger, and garlic.
- In a baking dish, toss the prepared vegetables with olive oil, rosemary, pepper, oregano, and salt. Ensure the vegetables are evenly coated.
- Roast for 35-40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. Roasting intensifies the flavors of the beets and tomatoes.
- Once roasted, let the vegetables cool slightly. Remove the tomato skins; they should slip off easily after roasting.
- Transfer the roasted vegetables to a blender or food processor. Add a splash of vegetable stock to help create a smooth purée. Blend until completely smooth.
- For an extra velvety texture, strain the purée through a fine-mesh sieve. This removes any fibrous bits and creates a luxurious mouthfeel.
- Heat the remaining olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the strained purée and the remaining vegetable stock. Stir to combine.
- Bring the soup to a simmer, then stir in the lemon juice. Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper and a dollop of plain yogurt or a swirl of cream (optional).
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For an extra layer of flavor, try roasting the tomatoes alongside the beets; this intensifies their sweetness and adds a subtle smokiness to the soup.
- If you prefer a creamier texture without using dairy, blend in a handful of soaked cashews or a small cooked potato before pureeing the soup.
- For an Indian-inspired twist, finish the soup with a tadka (tempering) of mustard seeds and curry leaves sautéed in a teaspoon of ghee or olive oil, then drizzle over each serving.
- Leftovers can be chilled and served as a cold beet gazpacho; add a splash of lemon juice and a dollop of yogurt for a refreshing summer version.
Expert Tips
- For a vibrant color, choose beets that are firm and have a deep red hue. Avoid beets with soft spots or blemishes.
- Balance the earthiness of the beets with a touch of acidity. A squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of red wine vinegar can brighten the flavor of the soup.
- Don't overcook the beets. Slightly undercooked beets will retain their color and nutrients better than overcooked ones.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
