A creamy chilled version of borscht that is the perfect starter for summer meals. This reminds me of my Polish grandmother's version of a clear beet broth with sliced fresh cooked beets topped with sour cream. Ingredients:
1 cup sour cream |
1 cup cooked beet, sliced or diced (reserve 1 cup beet liquid) |
1/4 small onion, chopped |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
tabasco sauce |
1 slice lemon, peeled,1 inch thick |
sour cream |
chopped fresh chives |
Directions:
1. Place all ingredients (except garnish) in a blender, blend until smooth and chill. 2. Serve in coffee or tea cups and garnish with a dab of sour cream and sprinkle with chives. |
