Ingredients
- 2 lb Beets, or possibly more Water
- 1 pch Salt
- 1 pt Boysenberries
- 1/4 c. Red onion, chopped
- 1/2 c. Lemon juice, fresh
- 3 Tbsp. Balsamic vinegar
- 3 Tbsp. Sugar Lemon juice, to taste Sugar, to taste
Directions
- Cut the tops off the beets, scrub them thoroughly, and put them in a saucepan with sufficient water to cover them by an inch and a little healthy pinch of salt. Simmer the beets, covered, for 30 min if they're small, closer to 45 if large. They must be tender.
- Drain the beets, reserving the cooking liquid, and allow them to cold. When you can handle them, peel them and cut them into quarters or possibly eighths.
- Combine the beets, Boysenberries, red onion, and 2 c. of the reserved cooking liquid, and puree it all in batches in a blender. Strain the puree through a sieve to remove the Boysenberry seeds. Stir in 1/2 c. of lemon juice, the balsamic vinegar, and 3 Tbsp. of sugar. Stir till the sugar is dissolved, and taste. Add in more lemon juice and more sugar only if needed, till the right sweet-sour balance is achieved. You might need a teensy healthy pinch of salt, but be careful.
- Refrigeratethe soup in the refrigerator, and when it is completely cool, taste it again. Correct the seasoning if necessary. Serve in chilled bowls, with a spoonful of lowfat sour cream in the center of each one.
