- Ingredients
- 3.333 cups raw Beets
- 2 cups vegetable stock
- ½ Orange (zest pared and julienned)
- 1 Tbsp Chives (finely chopped)
- 1.333 cups plain Yogurt
- ⅜ cup double cream
- ¼ cup Red wine vinegar
- salt
- peppers
Preparation steps
1.
Place the beetroot in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil and cook the beetroots until tender when pierced with a sharp knife.
2.
Drain and peel (use kitchen gloves as the beets will stain). Chop roughly and place in a food processor.
3.
Add half of the vegetable stock and blitz until smooth. Add the yoghurt, cream, vinegar and some seasoning and continue to blitz until smooth.
4.
Adjust the consistency with the remaining vegetable stock; adding more if it is too thick.
5.
Pass the soup through a sieve and collect in a mixing bowl underneath. Check for seasoning, then pour into serving glasses.
6.
Cover and chill until needed. Garnish with the julienned orange zest and chopped chives when ready to serve.
