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:
- Bring beets and water to a boil in an 8-quart pot, covered, then reduce heat slightly and cook at a low boil until tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer beets with a slotted spoon to a bowl, reserving liquid in pot. Add carrots, cabbage, celery root, bay leaf, dill sprigs, salt, and pepper to liquid in pot and briskly simmer, partially covered, over moderate heat until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes. Add vinegar and sugar, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then pour soup through a sieve lined with a dampened paper towel or cheesecloth into a large bowl, discarding solids (you will have about 7 cups broth; if you have less, add enough water to bring total to 7 cups).
- While vegetables cook, peel beets and coarsely grate using large holes of a box grater.
- Slowly whisk 1 cup broth into sour cream in a bowl until blended, then add to soup along with grated beets, chives, and chopped dill. Cool soup completely, uncovered, then chill, covered, until cold, at least 2 hours. Season with salt and pepper before serving.

CHILLED BEET SOUP
This is a wonderful recipe for hot summer days!. Got this off a www.finecooking.com a wonderful recipe website. Made a little variation from the original since it includes horseradish and I'm not a fan of horseradish. My mother and my grandmother absolutely love this recipe and it keeps for up to five days in the refrigerator. If you love soup creams, orange and sweet beet flavors this is a keeper!

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 375°F Put the beets and garlic on a large sheet of aluminum foil. Scatter on the orange zest and thyme, season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with the olive oil. Fold up the sides of the foil and crimp to make a tight packet. Put over a baking sheet and get it into an oven for 1 hour.
- Open the packet and check the beets for tenderness by piercing each beet with the tip of a sharp knife and set aside for 20 minutes. If the beets are hard after piercing, continue baking until tender.
- Using a tough paper towel, rub the skin off the beets using both hands and cut them into chunks. Peel the baked garlic cloves and discard the thyme springs and the orange zest, saving any juices in the foil.
- Drop one third of the beet chunks, the garlic, and any juice collected in the foil, some of the honey and chicken broth. Enough to make a smooth puree while blending. Transfer to a soup container. I recommend doing this part in batches, so the puree can blend better.
- When you are done pureeing, add the orange juice and red wine vinegar, and stir. Also, season to taste with salt and pepper. I like this soup a little tangy so I add a little more of the red wine vinegar.
- Refrigerate the soup for at least 4 hours or until really chilly, serve in soup bowls or cups with 1 tsp of sour cream and ENJOY!
