Title: Cold Borscht Categories: None Yield: 1 Servings 8 Beets; washed and peeled 1 Onion; chopped fine 2 1/2 qt Water 1 tb Salt 1/3 c Lemon juice 3 tb Sugar 2 Eggs 1 c Sour cream Combine the beets, onion, water, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook over medium heat for 1 hour. Add the lemon juice and sugar and cook for 30 minutes. Correct seasongin; the soup may require a little more sugar or lemon juice, depending upon the sweetness of the beets. Beat the eggs in a bowl. Gradually add 3 cups of the soup, beating constantly to prevent curdling. Return this mixture to the balance of the soup, beating steadily. Remove all of the beets from the soup. Grate 5 of the beets and return them to the soup. The remaining beets may be used in a cold salad. Chill the soup, and serve very cold with a spoonful of sour cream in each plate. Note: If a very thick soup is desired, place the remaining beets in an electric blender with 2 cups of the soup, and run the machine until the mixture is smooth. Add the mixture to the soup.
