Contrary to popular belief, soup can be enjoyed during any, and every, season. Too hot to have a bowl of chicken noodle? No problem, this chilled beetroot soup has you covered! And have we mentioned that it’s pink?

Ingredients:

  • 2 small beetroots
  • 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 400 mililiters water or vegetable stock
  • 3 cups Greek yogurt
  • 3-4 tablespoons dill, finely chopped
  • 4 tablespoons chives, finely chopped
  • 10 radishes, coarsely grated
  • 1 cucumber, peeled and coarsely grated
  • 1 garlic clove

Instructions:

  1. Peel the beets and grate them coarsely. Place them in a large pot with the water or vegetable stock and lemon juice. Cover and bring to a boil. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes before removing from the heat and leaving to cool completely.
  2. Once the mixture has cooled, add the remaining ingredients, season to taste, and stir thoroughly.  Refrigerate for 4 hours before serving.
