Best Roasted Beet And Potato Soup Recipes

ROASTED BEET AND POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place the potatoes and beets into a baking dish, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil; season with salt and black pepper.
• Roast in the preheated oven until tender, about 1 hour; allow to cool.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat, and stir in the celery, onion, and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Mix in the cooked vegetables, chicken broth, thyme, and bay leaf, bring to a boil, and reduce heat. Simmer until the celery is very tender, about 45 minutes.
• Remove from heat, and discard the bay leaf. Puree the mixture in the pot with an immersion blender until very well blended; stir in the milk and lemon juice to serve.

ROASTED BEET SOUP WITH POTATO AND DILL SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Wrap beets and potatoes separately in foil; seal tightly. Roast on oven rack until tender when pierced with skewer, about 45 minutes for potatoes and 1 1/2 hours for beets. Unwrap and cool completely.
• Peel beets; cut into 1-inch pieces and place in blender. Add milk, 2 tablespoons onion, 2 tablespoons chopped dill and vinegar; blend until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate soup until cold, about 1 hour.
• Peel potatoes and cut into 1/4-inch dice. Place in medium bowl. Add remaining 2 tablespoons each of onion and chopped dill. Fold in yogurt. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover beet soup and potato salad separately and refrigerate.) Ladle beet soup into 4 bowls. Top with potato salad; garnish with dill sprigs.

ROASTED BEET AND POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan, and add the onions and garlic clove. Saute until the onions are transparent, but not browned.
• Add all the remaining ingredients, except for the evaporated milk, and enough broth to cover by about 1/2 inch.
• Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered, for about 25 minutes, or until all the veggies are quite soft. Stir from time to time.
• Remove from heat and fish out the bay leaf.
• Puree with a immersion blender (or in a regular blender in batches).
• Add the milk and more broth, if needed, and return to the stove until just heated through.
• Note: The amount of broth will depend a bit on the exact amount of veggies and how thick you like your soup. Also, you will need to add broth or water, most likely, when reheating the next day. This is nice with a garnish of plain yogurt or sour cream.
