Beetroot soup recipe

As long as you live, you have to eat. And if you want to live longer, you have to eat better. In order to eat better, you first have to change your bad habit of eating takeout. From now on, it’s best to cook your own meals every day. If you don’t know how, now I will teach you how to make beetroot soup.

1.1 Heat olive oil in a pan, add beetroot, onion, carrot and celery, stir-fry over medium-low heat. Don't be impatient, it will come out slowly and taste good.

2.2 Ingredients, for three people• 1 beetroot, I didn't cut it, grated• 1 medium-sized carrot, grated• 1 red onion, preferably purple-red, sweeter and more fragrant, cut into thick strips• 1 stalk of parsley, take the tender stems inside, the color will be more yellow, cut into thin strips• 1 tbs Olive Oil• Half a can of diced tomatoes, preferably Italian ones• 1 not-too-fat garlic clove, mashed (don't mash it out first, just mash it into the pot)• 3 cups stock, preferably vegetable stock• 1 bay leaf• 2 cloves (4 if crushed)• Juice of half a lemon, squeezed• Salt and black pepper• Sour cream, if you can't buy it, plain yogurt is also fine

3. The vegetables will turn red while stir-frying (so this is where the word stir-fry comes from...), gradually become soft and tender, and start to shrink in size. After about 5-8 minutes, stir in the tomatoes and mashed garlic.

4. After 2-3 minutes, when the garlic paste is fragrant and not greasy, pour in the broth, bring to a boil, add the bay leaves and cloves (it is best to wrap them in gauze so they are easier to take out), and simmer for 1-1.5 hours.

5. Stew until the aroma is rich and the vegetables are tender but still in shape. Season with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Serve on a plate. If you like, add a spoonful of sour cream before drinking. I drank this pot of soup for three meals and it was still not enough. Next time I will try the thick soup version. Enjoy!

Beetroot soup is delicious, but only when you make it yourself can you enjoy the deepest pleasure. So, if you want to satisfy yourself and contribute to others, please act now.
