Chilled Beetroot Apple Soup
Chilled beetroot apple soup pairs earthy cooked beetroot with tart apple and a yogurt finish. Apple juice contributes sweetness, while cider vinegar gives balance. Dill adds a savoury aroma so the bowl remains a soup rather than a fruit purée.

Professional Chef Notes
Use tart apples and evenly prepared beetroot. Plain yogurt is needed for the finish. Beetroot varies in sweetness, so the vinegar should be judged after blending the cooked base.
Cook the vegetables and apple until tender, blend safely and cool rapidly. Incorporate yogurt at the cooled stage specified and refrigerate until thoroughly cold. Recheck thickness and seasoning at serving temperature.
A gritty texture needs more beetroot cooking or blending. Too much effective sweetness may need controlled vinegar adjustment and more unsweetened stock. Yogurt added to a boiling base can become grainy.

Chef Notes & Tips
Roasting beetroot concentrates flavour without diluting the soup or washing away colour. Allow additional refrigeration time until thoroughly chilled; preparation and cooking times do not include chilling.
Ingredient choices: Use tart apples and evenly prepared beetroot. Plain yogurt is needed for the finish. Beetroot varies in sweetness, so the vinegar should be judged after blending the cooked base.
Cooking control: Cook the vegetables and apple until tender, blend safely and cool rapidly. Incorporate yogurt at the cooled stage specified and refrigerate until thoroughly cold. Recheck thickness and seasoning at serving temperature.
If something goes wrong: A gritty texture needs more beetroot cooking or blending. Too much effective sweetness may need controlled vinegar adjustment and more unsweetened stock. Yogurt added to a boiling base can become grainy.
Ingredient Substitutions
- ↔ Use plant yogurt for vegan service; pear can replace apple.
Food Safety & Doneness
Wash produce and use clean utensils. Keep perishable ingredients refrigerated. Refrigerate cooked food in shallow containers within 2 hours, or within 1 hour when the surroundings exceed 32°C. For hot soup, use an immersion blender with its head submerged, or cool sufficiently before using a blender approved for warm liquids. Never seal hot soup in a closed cup blender.
Serving & Plating
Serve in chilled bowls with dill and a small yogurt finish taken from the measured quantity. Stir before portioning if the soup has settled.
Storage
Chill promptly and store covered at 4°C or below for up to 2 days. Keep cold until serving; do not leave it at room temperature for more than 2 hours. Follow an earlier dairy or packaged-ingredient use-by date if applicable.
