Cold: Cold Beet Soup

Source of Recipe

unknown


List of Ingredients

15 ounces beets
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 cup minced onion
water
1 1/4 cups sour cream


Recipe

Drain the liquid from the can of beets. Put in a measuring cup and add water to make one cup. Place lemon juice, onion, sugar and beets plus liquid into a blender and puree until mixture is smooth. Pour into a plastic covered container (I use a long flat one) and place in the freezer. After a while ice crystals will form around the edges. When there is quite a rim of ice, remove from the freezer and stir well. Either stir cold sour cream into the soup until it makes a nice pink color or pour the soup into a dish and serve with a dollop of sour cream on top. This is better with fresh cooked beets but so easy with the canned beets!
