Ingredients:
-1.5 pounds of beetroot, peeled and chopped
-1 large potato, peeled and chopped
-1 onion, peeled and chopped
-1 celery stalk

-2 cups vegetable broth
-4 tablespoons sour cream


In a soup pot add the beets, potato, onion and celery.  Drizzle with the oil and cook until softened (10-15 minutes). Add the veggie stock and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and simmer for 30 minutes.
Use an immersion blender to blend the soup. Top with sour cream.

A piping bag will allow you to make shapes or spell out words.






The texture of this was velvety smooth -- this is a very thick soup! The sour cream helped to add another dimension to the flavors of the soup, but overall it was an exquisite color and had great flavors.
