Ingredients
Serves 4
3/4 lb beets ( 4 medium beets, smaller than a tennis ball)
1/4 cup red or sweet onion, finely diced, divided
2 garlic cloves
3 small turkish cucumbers, divided
1/2 cup fresh dill, divided

Once beets are cold, slip off their skins using your hands. Slice and place 3 of the 4 beets ( saving one) in a blender with 2 cups of the cold cooking liquid ( or use ice water, or cold veggie stock).
Add half of the chopped onion( about 1/8 cup) , 2 garlic cloves, 2 sliced Turkish cucumbers ( saving one) salt, pepper, vinegar and about 2/3 of the fresh dill ( saving some for garnish). Blend until very smooth. Taste and adjust salt and vinegar. Place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Prep the garnishes.
Finely dice remaining beet, cucumber, avocado and chop the remaining dill. Pour chilled beet soup (the colder it is, the better) into bowls. Top with with the garnishes. Drizzle with a little olive oil or a swirl of yogurt or sour cream if you like. Serve immediately!
