IMPORTANT TIPS

Before blending make sure beets are fork tender and let soup cool down a little bit before using immersion blender.
Be careful when blending soup as it is very hot.
If you do not have immersion blender you can blend this soup using regular blender. Make sure you do not fill your blender past the maximum fill line.
I have used 4 cups vegetable broth in this recipe but you can adjust the amount based on consistency of soup you like.
For garnish I have use coconut cream, crushed pistachio and mint leaves. But you can garnish with your choice of toppings- croutons, roasted chickpeas, pepitas, crushed black pepper, sesame seeds, red chili flakes, crushed pecans etc.
