Red Pepper Beet Soup

my husband was talking about the health benefits of red beets this weekend so i am experimenting with red beet soups. (i would also like to find a really yummy
Borscht recipe)

i think he might really like this one because it has red pepper in it!

INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 red peppers, diced
2 beets, peeled and diced
4 cups water or stock
1 tablespoon ground coriander
2 tablespoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Juice from one lemon

In a saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Cook onion, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Add peppers, beets, water, coriander, oregano, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for about 45 minutes or until beets are very tender. Let cool slightly and add lemon juice. Carefully puree in batches in a blender until smooth. Serve warm or chilled. Sprinkle with goat cheese if desired.
