If you're looking for beautifully colored soups, borscht is tough to beet! This version of the classic soup uses canned beets for convenience.

ingredients

1 can (16 ounce size) beets, liquid reserved
1 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1 container (8 ounce size) sour cream
fresh dill

directions

Blend the first 6 ingredients (including the liquid from the canned beets) in the blender for about 1 minute, or until smooth.

Pour 1 cup of the soup into a large bowl with half the sour cream and blend until smooth. Then add the remaining soup from the blender and stir until thoroughly mixed.

Chill overnight. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and lots of chopped fresh dill.

Yogurt may be substituted for the sour cream.
