CHILLED BEET & CELERY SOUP
My mother served this for a Thanksgiving lunch. I admit, I was a little dubious about it at first, since beets have never been my favourite vegetable. (Once upon a time they were my absolutely least-liked food, but I've seen at least a glimmer of the light.) Anyway, this soup was delicious! Just wonderful! I made sure to get the recipe from her before heading home. (She adapted the recipe from Gourmet Magazine.)Note: the celery can be replaced with peeled, chopped celery root.

Steps:
- Peel the beets and cut them into 1" chunks.
- Yes, raw.
- Peel and dice the onion, and chop the celery.
- In a heavy-bottomed soup pot, cook the onion and celery in the olive oil, with the sugar and a little salt and pepper.
- When soft, add the beets, vinegar and broth, and simmer, covered, until they are tender- about 40 minutes.
- Puree the soup, and chill 6 hours to overnight.
- Adjust the seasoning of the soup by adding a little more salt and pepper, if needed, and lemon juice to taste.
- Serve with a dollop of yogurt, and a sprinkling of minced chives.
