    Ingredients

    • Beets- are the star ingredient of this soup. Not only they add an amazing Pink-red color to this soup but they also add iron, vitamins and minerals. Low in calories and fat, they are a great source of iron. I have added boiled and pureed beet. One may use blended raw beets as well, though they may taste slightly bitter.
    • Tomato- Rich and fresh juicy tomatoes balance the bitter taste of beets in this recipe. I have used fresh tomatoes. You may use tomato puree as well but then the soup may vary in taste.
    • Bayleaf- The aroma of bayleaf roasted in ghee brings freshness to the soup.
    • Garlic- I have used freshly grated garlic. You may use garlic powder. Red Onions can also be added as chopped. If you are making this soup in Navratri, feel free to skip onion and garlic.

    Variations

    • Beetroot and Sweet Potato Soup- Add sweet potato cubes to this beet soup to make a chunky soup. You may also add carrots, Amla or potato to it.
    • Borscht Soup- Typically made with meat or chicken stock and sauteed vegetables along with red beets, Borscht Soup is a popular European Soup. You can skip the chicken part to make a Veg Borscht.

    What To Team With This Beet Soup?

    This smooth beet and tomato soup is hearty and filling. To have a light meal, you may team it with-

    • Stuffed Vegetables
    • Whole Wheat Focaccia Bread
    • Apple Cucumber Mint Salad
    • Mashed Potatoes with Lentils

    Expert Tips

    • Beets have a bitter taste. Making them with sour or sweet vegetables can balance that bitter flavor. Team them with tomatoes, carrots, sweet potato, or cucumber. You may also use boiled beets like in this recipe as that has a mildly sweet flavor than raw beets.
    • Make sure that soup is cooked on low/medium flame and not full flame. Burnt garlic or puree taste would strongly affect this soup's flavor.
    • Take a pan that is heavy-bottomed. I recommend using steel pans over aluminum ones.
    • I boiled the beets a day in advance to save time.

    Benefits of Beetroot Tomato Soup

    Detailed Recipe

    1. Make Beet Puree

    • In a small pressure cooker, boil one peeled beet for two whistles. Cool it down. Roughly chop in large chunks and blend to a smooth paste.

    2. Make Tomato Puree

    • In the same blender, grate roughly chopped tomatoes.

    3. Sautee Both Purees in Ghee

    • In a large saucepan or wok, add ghee.
    • Add garlic and bay leaf. Cook it for less than a minute. The burnt taste of garlic adds a bad flavor to the soup.

    • Add salt, black pepper, and Water. Boil for 2 min
