Warm up with a bowl of vibrant Beetroot Soup that’s as beautiful as it is delicious! This recipe is a celebration of earthy, sweet beets blended into a creamy, rich soup that’s perfect for any season. With its stunning color and delightful flavor, this nourishing soup is ideal for a cozy dinner or an elegant starter.
Begin by turning your instant pot on. Add the olive oil, onion, celery and garlic. Saute until the veg is softened.
Add your chopped and diced beetroot to the instant pot. Pour in the vegetable stock and add lemon juice before locking the instant pot lid.
Next, pressure cook your instant pot beetroot soup on high pressure for 14 minutes. This is enough time to break down the fiberous beetroot.
Release the steam naturally through the steam vent for 10 minutes then open and release any left over steam.
Use an immersion blender to blend your soup before adding fresh cream. Leave the cream out if you’re wanting this to be a vegan soup.
Stir the soup and serve into bowls. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
