Roasting Beets, Onions, Carrots, Garlic and Onion until they are caramelized and the natural sweetness comes out is the reason this soup is so delicious. It is simple to make and we will use the beet stems and greens to make the broth.
Ingredients:
4-5 Beets with stems and greens
1 onion, white or yellow
6 carrots scrubbed
1 bulb garlic
1 Tablespoon dill
salt and pepper to taste
5 cups distilled water

In large pot add 5 cups water and cleaned beet stems, onion skins and trimmed carrot pieces. Bring to boil and then turn down to a simmer. Allow to cook until needed in soup. Strain and add to soup. Reserve beet greens for soup.
Soup:

Roast in oven until beets are fork tender and carrots , garlic and onions are brown. Allow roasted veggies to cool. Using a plastic bag around hand use fingers to peel beet skin. Chop all ingredients to bite size. Add to soup pot with beet stem broth and dill, beet greens, salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning.
