This rich red nectar may be eaten hot or cold. I serve it in a demitasse or other small cup. Scrub the beets well before cooking. Taste as you prepare the soup, because getting the right balance of sweet and sour is important.
Ingredients
Makes 8 servings
Step 1
1.Place the beets in a heavy pot and cover with broth. Bring to a boil, partially covered. Reduce the heat to medium; simmer for 45 minutes or until the beets are tender. Remove the beets to a bowl with a slotted spoon.
Step 2
2.When the beets are cool enough to handle, slip off the skins and cut beets into pieces. Pour the broth through a fine strainer into another pot to remove any particles.
Step 3
3.Puree the beets in batches in the bowl of a food processor, adding the broth and water through the feed tube. Remove to a bowl. Add the lemon juice until the right balance of sweet and sour is achieved. Season with salt.
Step 4
4.Serve soup in small portions, dolloped with sour cream.

Back to Top我跟着这个食谱“T”和汤凸轮e out with bits of beet chunks in it. I was expecting it to be clear with no chunks. But it still came out very good to the taste. Not the soup I remember as a girl though. May have to keep looking for the right recipe.

I boiled about 12 medium beets in water from my garden and the next day I pureed them with the chicken broth. I added the juice of one lemon and served it cold. My husband whom is not a fan of beets, even asked for some. I thought it was delicious!

I cooked the beets in water and then added chicken broth to the puree. I got it to the right consistency, added the juice of one lemon, and served it cold with sour cream. My husband, whom is not a fan of beets, even asked for some. I thought it was delicious!

This recipe is all about the taste of beets. Pay attention to the instruction to balance the sweet/sour flavors. I ended up adding quite a bit of lemon juice to make it sing. I love the purity of the flavor and simplicity of preparation.Creme fraiche made it sublime.
