Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 of a pound of beets
2 cups cranberries
3 cups water
3 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2/3 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons minced fresh dill

Steps:

  • Peel and grate beets. You may want to wear rubber gloves or perhaps put small sandwich-size plastic bags over your hands when grating beets to prevent staining. Also be sure your clothing is protected when preparing this recipe.
  • Place beets in a saucepan with cranberries and water and simmer 20 minutes or so until beets and cranberries are very tender.
  • Strain beets and cranberries, reserving the liquid. Puree beets and cranberries in a food processor, combine with reserve liquid and return to saucepan. Add sugar, salt and lemon juice and bring to a simmer.
  • Stir sour cream to smooth it. Stir sour cream into the soup and reheat but do not allow to boil, then serve. If desired the soup can also be served chilled. Garnish with dill before serving.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out nothing like the picture. It was a big disappointment.

I found this soup to be a bit bland. I would add more spices and herbs to give it more flavor.

This soup is a bit too sour for my taste. I would add a little bit of sugar or honey to balance out the flavor.

This recipe is a keeper! I've already made it twice and my family loves it. It's a great way to use up leftover cranberries after the holidays.
