8

½

cup sliced (½-inch thick) celery

3

cloves garlic, peeled and halved lengthwise

teaspoons tarragon

4

ounces russet potato, peeled and cubed (¾-inch cubes)

4-5

cups chicken stock or broth

1

teaspoon kosher salt

¼

teaspoon freshly ground white pepper

Optional garnishes: Sour cream or heavy cream, sprigs of fresh

tarragon
Preheat oven to 425°F. Scrub the beets and wrap in a double thickness of

aluminum foil. Place in hot oven and roast until tender when tested with a

knife, about 2 to 2½ hours, depending on the size of the beets. Preheat a

second oven to 300°F. Line a jelly-roll pan with parchment. Cut tomatoes

in half lengthwise and arrange in a single layer on the prepared pan.

Roast tomatoes for 1 hour.

Melt butter in a 5- or 6-quart Dutch oven style stockpot over medium

heat. When melted, add onions, celery, and garlic. Cook, stirring

frequently, until translucent, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in tarragon, reduce

heat to low, cover loosely and cook for 10 minutes. Add the reserved

tomato juices and enough chicken stock to make 6 cups of liquid in total

and the cubed potato. Raise the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce

heat to low, cover loosely and simmer for 1 hour. Stir in salt and pepper.

Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes.

Strain the solids from the liquid, and transfer all but 2 cups of the cooking

liquid to a clean pot. Place half the cooked vegetables in the blender jar

with 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Blend on Purée until smooth and

homogenous, about 25 to 30 seconds. Transfer to the pot of cooking

liquid and stir. Repeat with the remaining vegetables and cup of cooking

liquid. Add to soup in pot and stir to blend. Serve hot or chilled. If serving

hot, keep warm over low heat until ready to serve. Garnish as desired.
