Preparation steps

1.
Heat oil in a medium saucepan, set over medium heat. Add shallots and cook, stirring frequently for about 4 minutes or until soft and translucent. Add garlic and continue cooking for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add bell peppers and beets; stir to incorporate. Add chicken stock and thyme and bring to a boil. Partially cover, reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes or until beets are fork tender. Remove pan from heat source and cool slightly. Whisk in lemon juice; season to taste with salt and pepper.
2.
Working in small batches, puree the soup in a blender until smooth. Pour pureed soup into a large serving bowl and gently fold in the sour cream. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
3.
Divide chilled soup between bowls, season with salt and pepper and garnish with lemon grass. Serve.
