Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 medium yellow onion
  • 2 oz unsalted butter
  • 2 oz white wine
  • 2 bunches beets
  • 1 bunch red Swiss chard
  • 1 russet potato potato
  • 1/4 cup fresh taragon
  • 1 tsp fresh ground nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • Cut the potatoes into cubes and remove the leaves from the chard and the beets. Peel the beets and cut into cubes. Roughly chop the chard stalks and the onions.
  • In a large pot melt the butter over low heat and add the onions. Once the onions are translucent (about 5 min) add the white wine and stir until the onions have absorbed some of the wine (about 6 min).
  • Add the beets, chard and potato to the pot and add enough water to cover veggies (about 6 cups). Simmer until veggies are cooked through.
  • Remove the taragon leaves from the stems and add to the pot. Working in two batches, place the mixture in a blender leaving room for the steam to escape. Blend until smooth.
  • Return mixture to the pot and let simmer. Add the paprika and nutmeg. Add the cream slowly while stirring. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve!
