Cold Beet Soup

I made this cold beet soup and was not disappointed.  It is delicious and refreshing, I felt like I was eating a salad!  My family looked at it suspiciously but husband M eventually tried it and liked it too.

Here is the recipe I used.  Although I added:

1 1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp garlic

2-3 tbs lemon juice 

notes:

1 quart buttermilk = 4 cups

1 lb beets = 5 small or 3-4 med beets

to make buttermilk:

1 tbs vinegar plus enough milk to measure one cup, stir and let stand 5 min
