Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 teaspoon olive oil; 1 cup chopped onion; 4 cups fat-free low-sodium chicken broth; 2 cups water; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/8 teaspoon pepper; 3 beets, peeled and halved (I quartered mine); 1 medium baking potato, peeled and halved crosswise (I quartered mine); 1 bay leaf; 1 teaspoon lemon juice; 8 teaspoons reduced-fat sour cream (I used 3 tablespoons)

Servings: persons

1 teaspoon olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
4 cups fat-free low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
3 beets, peeled and halved (I quartered mine)
1 medium baking potato, peeled and halved crosswise (I quartered mine)
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon lemon juice
8 teaspoons reduced-fat sour cream (I used 3 tablespoons)

1
Heat the oil in a dutch oven or large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and saute 3 minutes or until tender.
2
Add broth and next 6 ingredients. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer uncovered 20 minutes or until the beets and potato are tender. Be sure to discard bay leaf at this point.
3
Puree mixture using an immersion blender. You may also use a blender or food processor, being sure to process in 3 batches. The blender will probably give the smoothest results, but I thought the immersion blender gave satisfactory results (plus was easy to use). Return pureed mixture to the pot if necessary. Warm soup over low heat 5 minutes. Remove and stir in lemon juice.
4
Remove 1/2 cup of the soup and transfer this into a small bowl. Combine it with the sour cream, stirring with a whisk.
5
Ladle the soup into individual bowls and top each serving with one tablespoon of the sour cream mixture. Using the tip of a knife, swirl the sour cream, making a pretty design.
