Notes
Recipe Notes
- 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.
