Cold Beet Soup

Cold Beet Soup

1 can (15 oz) beets
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tsp sugar
1/4 cup minced onion
water
1 1/4 cups sour cream

Drain the liquid from the can of beets.  Put in a measuring cup and add
water to make one cup. Place lemon juice, onion, sugar and beets plus liquid
into a blender and puree until mixture is smooth.

Pour into a plastic covered container (I use a long flat one) and place in
the freezer.  After a while ice crystals will form around the edges.  When
there is quite a rim of ice, remove from the freezer and stir well. Either
stir cold sour cream into the soup until it makes a nice pink color or pour
the soup into a dish and serve with a dollop of sour cream on top.

This is better with fresh cooked beets but so easy with the canned beets!
