Ingredients

• 4 medium beetroots
• 2 medium apples
• 1 large onions
• 4 cups vegetable stock
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

1. 1

   Peel and chop the beetroots into small cubes, about 1 inch. Set aside.

2. 2

   Core and chop the apples into small pieces, leaving the skin on for added texture.

3. 3

   Dice the onion finely.

4. 4

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté for about 5 minutes until they become translucent.

5. 5

   Add the chopped beetroots and apples to the pot. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes.

6. 6

   Pour in the vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 30 minutes, or until the beetroots are tender.

7. 7

   Once cooked, remove the pot from heat. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer in batches to a countertop blender.

8. 8

   Return the pureed soup to the pot. Stir in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, fresh thyme, and lemon juice. Heat gently over low heat for about 5 minutes.

9. 9

   Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with a drizzle of cream and a sprig of thyme.
