How to make blended beet soup
- In a heavy-bottom stockpot or Dutch oven, heat oil on medium-high heat. When hot, saute onion, celery, and carrot until soft, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another minute. Stir in beets and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in stock, bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to maintain a simmer. Cook on low heat for 20-30 minutes until the beets are fork tender.
- Use an immersion blender, food processor, or a regular blender to blend until smooth.
- Season with salt and pepper and serve hot.

Toppings for fresh beet soup
- Cream: Garnish with a dollop of sour cream, a spoonful of plain Greek yogurt, or a swirl of heavy whipping cream.
- Fresh herbs: Top with ribbons of fresh basil, sprigs of thyme, or tender fresh dill.
- Add some acid: A squeeze of lemon juice, a splash of red wine vinegar, or a swirl of balsamic vinegar, or apple cider vinegar can create a slightly sour soup. This yields an incredibly complex flavor that is extremely pleasing.
Fresh beet soup tastes great with warm crusty sourdough bread. Soft slices of rye bread are yummy too.

Substitution ideas
- Chicken broth can be substituted with beef broth or beet stock. To make a vegetarian and vegan version of this easy beet soup recipe, use cold water or vegetable broth.
- Fresh beets can be replaced with roasted beets. I personally prefer the flavor of fresh beets in this recipe, but you might have store-bought roasted beets on hand.
Recipe tips for fresh beet soup
- The vegetables need to be thinly sliced in order to cook fast. The best way to do this is with a mandolin blade and a cutting board or a food processor with the slicing blade attachment.
- To avoid beet stains, you can wear gloves. Those red hands won’t remain that bright color for more than a day though.

Storage and reheating
Any leftover beet soup can be refrigerated or frozen. Store in an airtight container. If refrigerated, enjoy it within 3-5 days. Leftover frozen beet soup will last several months.
To reheat, add thawed soup to a pot and gradually warm over medium heat. Alternatively, you can reheat the soup in a covered dish in the microwave.
