Beetroot soup with chicken - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I make this beetroot soup without chicken to make it vegetarian?

Yes, you can easily make this soup vegetarian by omitting the chicken. The beets, carrots, and other vegetables provide plenty of flavor. You might want to add a bit more vegetables like celery or parsnips for extra depth, and consider using vegetable broth instead of chicken broth for the cooking liquid.

How long will this soup last in the refrigerator?

Properly stored in an airtight container, this beetroot soup will last for 3-4 days in the refrigerator. Always make sure it's cooled to room temperature before refrigerating to maintain freshness.

Can I freeze this beetroot soup?

Yes, this soup freezes quite well. Cool it completely, then transfer to freezer-safe containers, leaving some space for expansion. It will keep for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat gently on the stove, adding a little water or broth if it's too thick.

What can I serve with this beetroot soup?

This soup is quite hearty on its own, but it pairs wonderfully with a slice of crusty bread or a simple green salad. For a more substantial meal, you could also serve it with a side of garlic bread or a simple sandwich.

I don't have fresh herbs. Can I use dried?

Absolutely! If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried. The general rule is to use one-third the amount of dried herbs compared to fresh. So if the recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs, use about 1 teaspoon of dried. Add them towards the end of cooking so their flavor doesn't cook out completely.
