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...

Return the beets and any juice given off of beets to the cooking liquid. Add the lemon juice and the sugar. Return to a simmer and cook for an additional 3o minutes, partially covered. Taste for sweet and sour seasoning, adjusting to please your taste. Refrigerate and chill very well. Serve in a bowl with a dollop of sour cream and add a cold piece of potato if you like.
