Description

This is not an ordinary soup; it is a culinary tale of love, captured in a deep, ruby hue. The velvety cream of roasted beets is a dish that captivates the senses from the very first glance. Its foundation is made of slowly roasted beets, which, under the influence of heat, release their natural, earthy sweetness, becoming incredibly tender. An unexpected yet brilliant counterpoint is the addition of fresh raspberries, which bring a refreshing, slightly tangy note, breaking the monotony and adding lightness to the composition. The whole is perfectly smooth, with the consistency of liquid velvet. On top, a delicate cloud of creamy goat cheese floats, which, with its salty, pronounced note, perfectly balances the sweetness of the soup. The dish is not only a feast for the palate but also for the eyes – its intense color beautifully presents itself in white, deep bowls, adorned with the green of fresh herbs and the crunch of pistachios. An ideal choice for a romantic dinner, an elegant appetizer, or whenever you want to serve something truly special.

Preparation steps

Roasting vegetables

1

Preheat the oven to 200°C with the convection function (or 220°C top and bottom). Meanwhile, thoroughly wash the beets under running water, scrubbing the skin with a brush to remove any dirt. Do not peel them! Just trim the ends with the leaves and roots.

Ingredients: Beets
The oven must be well preheated before you put the vegetables in, as this will ensure even baking. Use disposable gloves while washing the beets to avoid staining your hands.
2

Prepare a large sheet of aluminum foil. In the center, place the washed beets. Drizzle them with half of the olive oil (about 1 tablespoon), sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add two unpeeled cloves of garlic. Thoroughly rub the beets with the oil and seasonings. Wrap the foil tightly, creating a sealed package.

Ingredients: Beets, Extra virgin olive oil, Garlic, Sea salt, Pieprz czarny świeżo mielony
A tight seal with foil is key. The steam that forms inside will make the beets cook faster and be juicier. You can use a double layer of foil for extra assurance.
3

Place the package with the beets on a baking sheet and put it in the preheated oven. Bake for about 60-70 minutes. The baking time depends on the size of the beets. After an hour, carefully peel back the foil (be careful of the hot steam!) and insert a thin knife or fork into the thickest beet. If it goes in smoothly, without resistance, the beets are ready.

Do not shorten the baking time. Well-baked, soft beets are the guarantee of a velvety soup consistency. If they are still hard after an hour, wrap them back up and bake for another 15-20 minutes.
4

Remove the beets from the oven and leave them wrapped in foil for about 10-15 minutes to cool slightly. When they are cool enough to handle, peel off the skin. The skin should come off very easily, almost by itself, due to roasting. Squeeze the roasted garlic out of its skins. Cut the peeled beets into smaller cubes.

It's easiest to peel warm beets. You can do this under cold water or using a paper towel – the skin will come off easily. Remember to wear gloves!

Cooking the soup

5

In a heavy-bottomed pot (about 2-3 liters capacity), heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Peel and finely chop the shallots. Add them to the heated oil and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon, until they become translucent and soft, but not brown.

Ingredients: Shallot, Extra virgin olive oil
Use a heavy-bottomed pot to prevent the vegetables from burning. Gently sweating the shallot, rather than browning it, will bring out its sweetness without bitterness.
6

Peel the potato and cut it into small cubes (about 1-2 cm). Add it to the pot with the shallot and sauté together for a minute. Then add the diced roasted beets and the roasted garlic squeezed from its skins. Mix everything together and pour in hot vegetable broth. The broth should cover the vegetables.

Ingredients: Potato, Beets, Garlic, Vegetable broth
Cutting the potato into small cubes will shorten the cooking time. Using hot broth will speed up the cooking process and help maintain the vibrant color of the vegetables.
7

Increase the burner power and bring the soup to a boil. Then reduce the heat to the minimum, cover the pot with a lid, and cook for about 15-20 minutes, until the potatoes are completely soft. Check this by piercing a piece of potato with a fork - it should break apart easily.

Cooking on low heat prevents the liquid from rapidly evaporating and allows the flavors to slowly meld together. Do not cook for too long; just make sure the potato is tender.

Mixing and seasoning

8

Remove the pot from the heat. Add the raspberries to the soup (if you are using frozen ones, you do not need to thaw them beforehand). Using an immersion blender, blend the soup directly in the pot for a few minutes until you achieve a perfectly smooth, velvety consistency. There should be no lumps.

Ingredients: Fresh or frozen raspberries
To achieve the smoothest texture, blend the soup patiently, making up and down movements with the blender to incorporate air and aerate the cream. If you don't have an immersion blender, pour the soup in batches into a countertop blender (remember not to fill the jar completely and to slightly open the lid to allow steam to escape).
9

After blending, place the pot back on low heat. Add balsamic vinegar, the remaining salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly and heat the soup, but do not bring it to a boil. Taste and assess the flavor. If the beets were not very sweet, you can add a bit of honey or maple syrup. If the soup is too thick, add a little hot broth or water.

Ingredients: Balsamic vinegar, Sea salt, Pieprz czarny świeżo mielony
This is the most important moment – seasoning! Always taste the dish before serving. The flavor should be balanced: sweet from the beets, sour from the raspberries and vinegar, salty from the salt and cheese. Add spices gradually.

Serving

10

Pour the hot cream into two deep bowls or plates. Gently place the crumbled goat cheese in the center of each portion. If you are using optional ingredients, sprinkle the top with coarsely chopped pistachios and garnish with fresh thyme leaves.

Ingredients: Soft goat cheese, Unsalted pistachios, Fresh thyme
Presentation is part of the experience. Pour the soup carefully to avoid staining the edges of the dish. Arrange the cheese and toppings in the center, creating an appetizing composition.

Fun Fact

💡

In ancient Rome, it was believed that beets were an aphrodisiac. Sharing a beet was thought to make two people fall in love. This historical association makes beet soup the perfect dish for a romantic occasion!

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve the soup immediately after preparation, while it is hot. For an extra 'wow' effect, before adding cheese and pistachios, you can create a dollop of thick cream or yogurt on the surface of the soup and use a toothpick to make a heart pattern. Crispy garlic croutons, grissini sticks, or a piece of fresh baguette for dipping pair perfectly with the soup.

🥡 Storage

Soup (without cheese and toppings) can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat over low heat, stirring frequently, without bringing it to a boil. Always add cheese and toppings fresh, just before serving.
