Cooking the red beet soup — 15 minutes
HEAT some olive oil in a medium-sized pan and sauté the shallots for a few minutes. ADD the potatoes and red beet and sauté for a few minutes more. ADD chicken stock and bring to a boil. Let it simmer until the shallots are soft. BLEND the soup and rub through a fine sieve to be sure the soup is very smooth.
BRING back to a boil again and add lemon juice. Season with pepper, salt and maybe some chicken stock. DIVIDE the red beet soup into 6 bowls or plates and top it off with a spoonful of sour cream. Enjoy your meal!
