Swedish beet soup
Ingredients
- 6 beets
- 1 onion
- butter
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp grated ginger
- 600 ml water
- 2 cubes bouillon
- salt
- 1 lemon juice and zest
- black pepper
- sour cream
Instructions
- Peel and cube the beets
- Finely chop the onion and fry with butter, beets and minced garlic until translucent

- Add water and bouillon and let it simmer under a lid for 20 min
- Here you can either mix the soup to get it smooth or just leave all the pieces for contrasting texture.
- Add the zest of a small lemon and the juice of it or around 3 tbsp lemon juice.
- Serve with sour creme and some bread
