Beet soup and beet greens

To Xhyacinth who wanted a recipe for beets and beet greens:

                                 SIMPLE BEET SOUP

Can be served hot or cold


Peel and coarsely chop:
1     large         beet
1                       carrot
1     medium   onion
			
Place vegetables in pot with:
3    cups         water
3                     vegetable bouillon cubes
2    tsp            wine vinegar
1/8 tsp           ground cloves
1/8 tsp           dill weed
1                      bay leaf
1/4 tsp           sugar
                        pepper
					
After cooking add:
juice of 1/2 lemon
fat free sour cream for garnish

Procedure:

Cover and cook 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Remove bay leaf
and puree in blender.  Add lemon juice.

Place soup in bowls. Garnish each serving with sour cream


Serves 4 as a first course. (Has a gorgeous red color)

I cook beet greens like spinach. Select bright green leaves. Tear off the
tough leaf stem. Steam for 2-3 minutes.
