Steps:
- Place the beets in a large pot of boiling salted water and cook uncovered until the beets are tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove the beets to a bowl with a slotted spoon and set aside to cool. Strain the cooking liquid through a fine sieve and also set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups of the beet cooking liquid, the chicken stock, sour cream, yogurt, sugar, lemon juice, vinegar, 1 tablespoon salt, and the pepper. Peel the cooled beets with a small paring knife or rub the skins off with your hands. Cut the beets in small to medium dice. Add the beets, cucumber, scallions, and dill to the soup. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight. Season, to taste, and serve cold with a dollop of sour cream and an extra sprig of fresh dill.
SOMMA (SUMMER) OR KRUT (WEED) BORSCHT
This borscht was discribed as "a soup by many names" in the Mennonite Foods and Folkways from South Russia" by Norma Jost Voth. Reading the recipes in this book, one old recipes reads "a grocery sackful of greens", so the amount of greens in this soup may vary. I grew up in a mennonite home but I can't remember ever having this soup. It was later on in life after moving to Winnipeg I got to taste this soup and thought it rather interesting. I mentioned it to Dad one day and he explained -"Weed Soup?!" I guess that is why we never had it at home. Sorrel is used in this soup. It is classified as a wild herb, a perennial herb of the buckwheat family. It gives a sour taste, so added to a soup gives it a distinct, tangy flavor. This soup is good served hot, with a heaping tablespoon of sour cream and a freshly baked slice of brown bread.

SUMMA BROSCHT
This is a soup that my grandmother, mother and I have all made through the generations - the words mean quite simply summer soup. What I remember most about the soup is that it tasted as good cold as it did hot - a meal in a bowl.

Steps:
- In a large soup pot add onions, potatoes and farmers sausage, cover with water approximately 12 cups. Allow to come to a boil. Cook over medium heat till sausage begins to split.
- Add beet tops, sorrel, dill, salt and pepper. Add buttermilk - this will become a little clumpy looking as the beet tops add a level of sourness to the soup that combined with the natural sourness of the buttermilk - will create some cruds. Remove the sausage and cut into bite size pieces return to the soup - and serve with cream on the side for those who might like it a little creamier.
