This earthy Fall soup will make your taste buds pop as you savor the sweet taste of beets and apple combined with lemon. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 3 beets, trimmed and scrubbed
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 cup apple juice
- 2 small or 1 large Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, or to taste (from 1 large lemon)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Place the beets and apple in a large, heavy pot and cover with the broth and juice. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer, partially covered, until tender, about 45 minutes (may be longer if they’re very fresh). Transfer the beets to a bowl with a slotted spoon. When cool enough to handle, slip off the skins and cut the beets into pieces.
- Strain broth through a fine mesh colander or sieve lined with two paper towels and return it to the pot.
- Once cooled, pur?e the cooked beets and apples together in batches in a food processor, adding some broth through the feed tube. Return the pur?e to the pot and combine with the broth. Stir in the lemon juice, parsley salt, and pepper. Pass the soup through a strainer, if desired.
