Beets provide the soup’s earthy sweetness and vivid color, while dried mushrooms add depth without making the broth heavy. Lemon at the end sharpens the flavor and keeps the finished soup balanced.
Cool the soup promptly and refrigerate it in a covered container for up to 4 days. It can be frozen for up to 3 months, preferably without garnishes.
Reheat gently in a saucepan over medium-low heat until steaming hot; do not boil vigorously, or the color may become dull.
