Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic in hot oil until soft but not browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in beets and cook for 1 minute.

Step 2

Pour in stock; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until beets are tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 3

Working in batches, pulse soup in a food processor until smooth. Return to the saucepan and cook over low heat until heated through. Ladle soup into 4 bowls and garnish each with a swirl of cream.
