Beet Soup
Boil beets vigorously, pull off skins, then simmer in soup (low heat) with any combination of onions, carrots, or whatever other vegetables you have until soft (45 minutes if vegetables are cut small). Purée until smooth. It should be a deep magenta. Add a few spoonfuls of sour cream and season to taste with salt and pepper. Note that the soup will taste too sweet by itself! Adding a dollop of sour cream at serving time makes it perfect. Eat comfortably hot if it's cold out, chilled if it's hot out, with a large dollop of sour cream. |
