Beetroot Soup
Also known as: Burokėlių sriuba
Lithuanian beetroot soup with beans, dried mushrooms, potatoes and sour cream.

About Beetroot Soup
Anželika learned this beetroot soup from her father-in-law and describes it as the version she always makes. Beans, dried porcini and potato give the Lithuanian soup substance around its grated beetroot base.
Onion, carrot and garlic are softened in olive oil before the soaked beans and mushrooms cook in broth. Black pepper and salt season the vegetables, with ribs offered as an optional addition.
Sour cream and parsley accompany the finished soup. The beetroot colours the broth deeply, while pieces of potato, beans and mushrooms remain visible within the bowl.
