'True Blood'S Beautifully Broken Bisque

1. 1

   Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the beets and carrots and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Add the broth, water, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and simmer until the beets are very tender, 20 to 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Using an immersion blender, blend until pureed. (The mixture can also be pureed, in batches, in a food processor.)

3. 3

   Serve warm, garnishing each bowl with a spoonful of sour cream, if you wish.
