RED BEET SOUP
After having a bowl of wonderful light beet soup at a Russian friend's home, I tried to recreate it by tweaking a recipe I had found. This recipe comes pretty close, but I haven't tried making it yet. Later I learned that this is a cold borscht and is called "svekolnik" in Russian. Sometimes boiled diced potatoes are also added, but these are cooked separately from the beets.
