INGREDIENTS
1 medium Beet (150g)
2 medium Carrots (approx 122g total)
1 medium Parsnip (80g)
1 medium Onion (110g)
2 Garlic cloves
75g Dry Lentils
1/2 cup Canned Chickpeas (80g)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Greek Yogurt (57g)
2 cups Vegetable Broth
PREPARATION
Rinse and peel the beet, carrots, parsnip, and onion. Dice the beet, carrots, and parsnip into uniform cubes and chop the onion finely. Mince the garlic cloves.
Rinse the dry lentils under cold water.
In a large pot, add the chopped onion and garlic with a splash of water (or a light cooking spray if preferred) over medium heat. Sauté until translucent and aromatic.
Add the diced beet, carrots, and parsnip. Stir for a couple of minutes to combine the flavors.
Pour in the 2 cups of vegetable broth, then add the rinsed lentils. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes until the lentils and vegetables are tender.
About 5 minutes before finishing, stir in the canned chickpeas and allow them to warm through.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, blend a portion of the soup to create a thicker texture while leaving some chunks for heartiness.
Ladle the soup into bowls and finish each serving with a dollop of low-fat Greek yogurt for a creamy tang.
Serve warm and enjoy your hearty, nourishing root vegetable beet soup.
