I just discovered a new love for beets! I sliced the beets thin, which allowed the cooking time to stay closer to the approximated 20-25 minutes.

This was really good. The texture was somewhat grainy like others mentioned, but it didn't bother me. I cut up the beet in really small pieces and it took about 25 minutes to cook. Then I blended everything into a puree. A very healthy meal!

Delicious! One of the best soup recipes I've ever made. I made the recipe with chicken broth instead of beef stock, and it made the soup a bit lighter.

The soup came out a delicious colour and texture (although as other users mentioned, it DOES take about 40-45min to cook the beets through). Since I had some other vegetables to use up, I added one carrot and two sticks of celery (all grated) to the beets as they were boiling, then blended it all together. You'll need to serve this soup with something else (ie, crusty bread), as it's not quite filling enough on its own.

I made this in my VitaMix in about 7 minutes. I micro'd the stock and then blended on high with the raw beets. I sauteed the rest and added to the mixture. It was yummy!! Even my 7 year old vegetable hating daughter had several spoonfulls.

I added 1 tbl fresh chopped basil and 1 tsp dried thyme at the cooking stage. At the table we added balsamic vinegar (a couple of teaspoons, perhaps). With these changes my husband and I liked this soup very much (and I am not very fond of beets).

This soup was decent. I made it exactly as stated but I also added a shallot to the onions and garlic. It needed at least 45 mins for the simmering. I saved time by pureeing the soup with my hand-held cuisinart mixer. It left it somewhat chunky. Oh, this also makes nowhere near the serving amount listed (4). I'm a light eater and its perfect for me: one bowl tonight, and one left over for work tomorrow. If this was a for a main course or a hearty eater, this recipe would easily be a single serving, and not the four listed. That said I will probably make this again, because beets are really good for you.

Liquid beets, that's all it was....with a bizzar flavor. Not good, texture was that of baby food. VERY MESSY to make and time consuming. It took 45 min. to simmer the beets to tender.

That's pretty good! I also don't eat beets. They showed up in my CSA box and I had to figure out what to do with them.

After cooking for 30 minutes, the broth had great flavor. Then I blended the soup and it had the consistency of thick grainy pudding. It would have been great if I had not put it in the food processor. What a waste of beets. I even added some more beef stock to try to smooth things out and it was still grainy.

We had some beets in our produce co-op that we didn't know what to do with. This recipe was great! We didn't have enough beets so we added some potatoes too. Easy and yummy!

This was easy but not exactly quick - the beets took longer than I'd expected. Oh and I don't have a blender so I couldn't puree the soup, but it was still pretty good.
