This bright soup cheers up thanks to its amazing unbroken taste and helps to get rid of extra pounds, as it is surprisingly dietary, but at the same time satisfying!
It is necessary
- Serves 4:
- - 4 beets;
- - 400 ml of water;
- - 1 onion;
- - 1 large orange;
- - 1 tbsp. olive oil;
- - mint for serving.
Instructions
Step 1
Boil or bake the beets until tender. Keep in mind that beets take a long time to cook, so prepare them ahead of time! Then peel and cut into medium cubes.
Step 2
Wash the orange thoroughly, preferably with a brush. In general, if there is such an opportunity, give preference to organic fruits, which are not covered with a layer of wax. Then carefully, using a vegetable peeler or grater, remove the zest from the orange. If using a vegetable peeler, cut the zest into strips.
Step 3
Squeeze the juice out of the orange itself.
Step 4
Chop the onion into small cubes. In a thick-walled saucepan, heat the olive oil and water mixture and add the onion cubes and half of the whole zest. Cook until soft.
Step 5
Add beetroot cubes to a saucepan, cover with freshly squeezed juice, add water and simmer for about 10 minutes. Then puree the soup in a food processor (you can also use a submersible machine) and serve, garnished with mint leaves.
