Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 pounds beets -- peeled and chopped

1 large yellow onion -- finely chopped

1 small carrot -- finely chopped

1 small red bell pepper -- seeded and finely chopped

1 large all-purpose potato -- peeled and diced

5 cups vegetable stock

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

2 teaspoons light brown sugar -- or a natural sweetener

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

1 tablespoon barley miso -- dissolved in 1 tablespoon hot water

(optional)

regular sour cream -- or soy sour cream (optional

garnish)

2 tablespoons minced fresh dill weed -- or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried

dillweed

 

In a 4 to 6-quart slow cooker, combine the beets, onion, carrot, bell

pepper, and potato. Add the stock, lemon juice, sugar, thyme, and cloves

and season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook on Low for 8 hours.

 

Just before serving, stir in the miso mixture, if using. Serve hot or

allow to cool and refrigerate until well chilled. Garnish with sour cream,

if using, and the dill.

 

To save prep time, you may shred all the vegetables in a food processor

using the shredding disc. This will change the texture of the soup, but

some people prefer it this way.

 

Serves 6.

It took me all the way to adulthood to appreciate the

flavor of beets. Now, I can't seem to get enough of them,

whether roasted, tossed in salads, or featured in this

lovely scarlet soup that can be eaten hot or cold. The

optional barley miso adds depth of flavor and lots of

nutrients, but because it is salty, you'll need to watch

how much salt you add.
