Best Cold Beet Borscht Soup Recipes
SUMMER BEET BORSCHT (COLD SOUP)
This is my take on Ina Garten's recipe. I love a cold soup in the summer and this is low fat. If you prefer you can use low fat for all sour cream but I think the mixture gives a better taste. I hope you all enjoy this as much as I do, very light and refreshing and, yes, the soup is purply-pink!

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 375. Line sheet pan with aluminum foil. Leave skin on beets lightly coat with olive oil. Roast for 30 minutes or longer until tender. After roasting, pull foil around beets to enclose, sit out to cool completely.
- 2. In large bowl whisk sour creams, yogurt, sugar, lemon juice, vinegar, salt and pepper. Peel cooled beets by rubbing the skins off or using paring knife(hint, use gloves for rubbing skins off to prevent staining of your hands.) Dice beets to 1/2 to 1 inch cubes. Add beets, cucumber, scallion and dill to soup mixture.
- 3. Cover with plastic wrap and chill at least 4 hours, overnight is better. Season with salt again if needed and serve cold with a dollop of sour cream and dill sprig.
BORSCHT (COLD BEET SOUP)
True story. I work with a bunch of people that were transferred from Kelly AFB in San Antonio. They are true Texans. I brought some of this soup to work one hot summer day and Artricia ( a lady in her 60's) couldn't get over the taste of this. Everytime I took some to work, I made sure I brought enough for her too. Miss you...

COLD BEET BORSCHT (SOUP)
My whole family loves this soup because, it tastes so good and gives you a "refreshing" lift. It was handed down to me from my mom, and I have passed it on to my boys, as both of them enjoy cooking, and trying new things.
