BEET SOUP WITH TARRAGON, CHIVES AND YOGURT
Freshly cooked beets, though they take a while to prepare (see Tip), are so delicious that they're worth the effort. Cook them the day before you need them and keep them in the fridge for up to a week, to use in salads or for a soup. For this borscht-inspired soup, a splash of vinegar tempers the beets' natural sweetness, which is perfectly complemented by a splash of tart herby yogurt. The good news is this soup may be served warm or chilled; each way is refreshing.

Steps:
- Put olive oil in a heavy-bottomed soup pot or deep, wide skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, cook slowly, stirring, until softened, about 10 minutes.
- Add beets and season generously with salt and pepper. Add a pinch of cayenne and pour in vinegar. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, then add water and raise heat to a brisk simmer. Taste broth and adjust. Cook for another 10 minutes, until beets are completely soft.
- Purée in a blender, in batches if necessary, and strain through a fine-mesh sieve. (Consistency should be like heavy cream, no thicker - thin with water or broth as necessary). Return puréed soup to pot and reheat. In a small bowl, combine yogurt with tarragon and chives. Add a good pinch of salt and beat with a fork to loosen yogurt.
- Taste soup, and adjust for salt and vinegar. Ladle into individual bowls. Swirl a large (2 to 3 tablespoons) spoonful of herbed yogurt across the surface of the soup.

BEET SOUP
During June through September, when the garden was most productive, Miss O'Keeffe would often walk with me to pick the vegetables she wanted for supper. She would consider what was ripe and what flavors would be pleasing,then supper would be served near six o'clock. Meals were generally prepared according to the following preferred schedule: breakfast at 7 a.m., the noon meal at 12 o'clock, and supper at 6 p.m. This schedule is one example of the patterns that suited the artist in her nineties.

Steps:
- Boil the beets until tender. Cool them to room temperature and peel. Chop the beets roughly and place them in a blender with the broth, lemon juice, and onion. Blend on a high setting until well puréed. Add herb salt to taste and a pinch of sugar, if desired. This soup can be served cold or hot. Top with a dollop of yogurt in each bowl before serving.
Tips:
- Choose the right beets: For the best flavor, choose small to medium-sized beets that are firm and smooth, with no signs of sprouting or bruising.
- Roast the beets: Roasting the beets before blending them adds a wonderful depth of flavor and sweetness. Be sure to wrap the beets in foil before roasting to prevent them from drying out.
- Use a high-powered blender: A high-powered blender will ensure that the soup is smooth and creamy. If you don't have a high-powered blender, you can puree the soup in a regular blender in batches.
- Season to taste: Be sure to taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to taste.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as dill, parsley, or chives, add a nice pop of flavor and color to the soup. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt for an extra creamy touch.
Conclusion:
This beet soup is a delicious and nutritious way to enjoy this healthy root vegetable. It's perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also a great way to use up leftover beets. With its vibrant color and earthy flavor, this soup is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
