Ingredients:
- 9 21/2-inch-diameter golden beets, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (8 to 9 cups), green tops reserved
Directions:
- Melt butter in large pot over medium heat.
- Add beets, onions, ginger, and lemon zest.
- Cover; cook 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add 6 cups broth and bring to boil.
- Cover; reduce heat and simmer until beets are very tender, 1 hour. Remove from heat; let stand 20 minutes.
- Purée soup in blender in batches until smooth. Return purée to pot. (NOTE: Be VERY careful when you purée hot soup in a blender - make certain the blender is NEVER more than a third full before you switch it on and hold the top down with a towel.)
- Add 2 tablespoons lemon juice to soup and thin with more broth, if desired. Season with salt, pepper, and more lemon juice.
- Slice enough beet greens to measure 3/4 cup. Microwave greens 1 minute to wilt; place in blender. Add 3/4 cup soup; purée greens until smooth.
- NOTE: This soup can be made 1 day ahead. Cover soup and purée separately; chill. Rewarm both separately before using.
- Ladle soup into bowls. Drizzle some of greens purée over soup and serve.
