6-8 Beets, fresh
1/4 cup
flour
6
cups vegetable stock
1
T. lemon juice
1
cup sour cream (optional)
Boil beets until they are tender. Drain
and run under cold water. When cool enough to handle, peel off the
skin with your fingers. (It should rub right off.) Then grate
the beets. Put them in a pot and stir in the flour. Whisk in the
vegetable stock. Bring it to a boil and add lemon juice. If
desired, stir in the sour cream.
