Soup may be served hot or cold. If serving chilled, garnish with a chopped hard-boiled egg or diced cucumber and a spoonful of sour cream. Without the sour cream, the soup is parve.

Ingredients
5 large beets (if canned, use juice as well)

- Wash and peel the beets and cook in a quart of water until tender. Remove the beets and grate fine.

Now there's an idea!! I would like to meet the man, and now we have something to talk about. I'll do to him, what my Mom did to me, back in the dark days of my life when I didn't like tihngs like borscht. I'll pour him a bowl and repeat a hundred times, But just TRY it. Try it once. Just a little. You don't know what you're missing! .
