Ingredients

• 6 medium beets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by peeling and dicing the beets into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot, sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the cubed beets to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable broth, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes or until the beets are tender.

Step 6

Once the beets are cooked, remove the pot from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 7

Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, blend in batches in a countertop blender, ensuring not to overfill the blender with hot liquid.

Step 8

Stir in the coconut milk, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 9

Chill the soup in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly chilled.

Step 10

Serve in bowls, and garnish with fresh dill before serving. Enjoy cold.
