This simple beetroot soup is one of those recipes you’ll want to cook again and again. It’s naturally sweet, beautifully colored, and full of clean ingredients. Potatoes add creaminess, tomatoes bring brightness, and the beetroot gives that deep, earthy flavor that makes the whole bowl taste both comforting and fresh.
Here’s how to make this easy, healthy soup with just a few basic vegetables.
Ingredients
- 1 medium beetroot, peeled and chopped
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 tomatoes, chopped
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 carrot (optional, for extra sweetness)
- 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 5 cups water or vegetable broth
- Fresh parsley or dill for serving (optional)
How to Make It
1. Prepare the Vegetables
Peel and chop the beetroot, potatoes, tomatoes, onion, and carrot so everything cooks evenly.
2. Sauté for Flavor
Heat the olive oil in a pot. Add the onion and carrot and cook for 2–3 minutes until soft.
This step adds a richer flavor to the soup.
3. Add the Main Vegetables
Add the beetroot, potatoes, and tomatoes. Stir gently for 1 minute.
4. Add the Liquid
Pour in the water or vegetable broth. Bring to a boil.
5. Simmer
Reduce the heat and simmer for 25–30 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender.
6. Blend or Leave Chunky
You can blend the soup for a creamy texture or leave it chunky—both versions taste wonderful.
7. Season
Add salt and pepper to taste. Adjust until the flavor feels balanced and warm.
Serving Suggestions
- Add a spoonful of Greek yogurt (optional, but delicious).
