Chilled Yellow Beet Soup
When I bought the beets for this dish, I actually had no intention of making soup at all. Phil had requested my roasted beet salad for dinner and I guess I went a tad overboard at the produce stand because I ended up bringing home two bunches. I just couldn’t resist those little, orange, light filled beacons calling to me from atop a mountain of brown and seemingly colorless root vegetables.
During the summer, I try to do things like roasting in the morning and usually roast things that I can use cold throughout the week so I don’t have to heat up the kitchen more than is necessary. I decided to add the excess beets to a pan of Yukon Gold potatoes I was roasting for another dish. When they were done, I had four perfectly roasted beets; but what was I going to do with them? Why, make soup of course.
