Ingredients

• 3 medium-sized beets
• 2 large carrots
• 2 medium potatoes
• 1 large onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh dill
• 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) salt
• 0.5 teaspoons (adjust to taste) black pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0 sour cream (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the beets, carrots, and potatoes into small cubes for even cooking.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the diced beets, carrots, and potatoes. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 7

Once the vegetables are cooked, use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. If using a countertop blender, allow the soup to cool slightly before blending in batches.

Step 8

Stir in the chopped dill, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls and optionally garnish with a dollop of sour cream and extra fresh dill.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy your vibrant and comforting Red Root Soup!
