Step 1
Peel and dice the 3 beets into 1/2-inch cubes. In a large pot, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat and sauté the 1 chopped onion until soft, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Add the 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 sliced jalapeño, cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the diced beets and 4 cups beef broth, bring to a boil.
Step 3
Reduce heat to low, add the 1 cup diced ham, and simmer until beets are tender, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 4
Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs like dill or parsley if you have them.
