A CHILLED SOUP OF GOAT CHEESE AND BEETS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the leaves from the beets (cook them later, treating them as you might spinach) and scrub the beets well. Put them in a roasting pan with a tablespoon of oil and three of water and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Roast for forty-five minutes to an hour, until dark and almost tender.
- Warm the second tablespoon of oil in a shallow pan. Chop the green onions and let them soften for five minutes or so in the oil. Set aside.
- Peel the beets and chop the flesh coarsely. Put them in the pan with the onions, pour over the stock, and bring to a boil. Simmer for seven or eight minutes, cool slightly, then purée in a blender until smooth. Check the seasoning. It will need salt and black pepper. Pour into a pitcher and chill in the refrigerator.
- To make the cream, remove the skin from the goat cheese and mash the flesh with a fork. Stir in the yogurt and chopped herbs. Serve the soup when it is thoroughly chilled, adding spoonfuls of the herb cream at the table.
