Ingredients
- 4 medium fresh beets
- 3 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups water
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the beets thoroughly and peel them.
Step 2
Cut the peeled beets into cubes, approximately 1-inch pieces.
Step 3
In a large pot, combine the cubed beets with 2 cups of water and 3 cups of low-sodium vegetable broth.
Step 4
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 30 minutes or until the beets are fork-tender.
Step 5
Remove the pot from heat and allow it to cool for a few minutes.
Step 6
Transfer the beet and broth mixture to a blender. Blend until smooth, in batches if necessary.
Step 7
Pour the blended beet mixture through a fine-mesh sieve back into the pot to remove any solids. Use a spoon to help press the liquid through.
Step 8
Stir in the low-fat Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, and honey into the soup, mixing well.
Step 9
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and mix in the fresh dill.
Step 10
