BEET SOUP WITH TARRAGON, CHIVES AND YOGURT
Freshly cooked beets, though they take a while to prepare (see Tip), are so delicious that they're worth the effort. Cook them the day before you need them and keep them in the fridge for up to a week, to use in salads or for a soup. For this borscht-inspired soup, a splash of vinegar tempers the beets' natural sweetness, which is perfectly complemented by a splash of tart herby yogurt. The good news is this soup may be served warm or chilled; each way is refreshing.

Steps:
- Put olive oil in a heavy-bottomed soup pot or deep, wide skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, cook slowly, stirring, until softened, about 10 minutes.
- Add beets and season generously with salt and pepper. Add a pinch of cayenne and pour in vinegar. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, then add water and raise heat to a brisk simmer. Taste broth and adjust. Cook for another 10 minutes, until beets are completely soft.
- Purée in a blender, in batches if necessary, and strain through a fine-mesh sieve. (Consistency should be like heavy cream, no thicker - thin with water or broth as necessary). Return puréed soup to pot and reheat. In a small bowl, combine yogurt with tarragon and chives. Add a good pinch of salt and beat with a fork to loosen yogurt.
- Taste soup, and adjust for salt and vinegar. Ladle into individual bowls. Swirl a large (2 to 3 tablespoons) spoonful of herbed yogurt across the surface of the soup.

CHILLED GOLDEN BEET AND BUTTERMILK SOUP
The beauty of this quick, simple soup recipe is in its layers of bright and carefully balanced acidity. Golden beets, puréed with buttermilk and lemon juice, have a sweet, gentle twang; Erin French, a chef from Freedom, Me., takes things even further, garnishing each bowl with fresh herbs, finely chopped shallots macerated in rice wine vinegar, and dollops of sour cream. Serve this soup as a side or with crusty, garlic-rubbed grilled bread to make it a meal.

- Put beets in a large pot over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon salt and enough water to cover. Boil for 25 to 40 minutes, depending on size, until tender when poked with the tip of a knife. Drain beets and let cool, then peel off the skins with your fingers.

A CHILLED SOUP OF GOAT CHEESE AND BEETS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the leaves from the beets (cook them later, treating them as you might spinach) and scrub the beets well. Put them in a roasting pan with a tablespoon of oil and three of water and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Roast for forty-five minutes to an hour, until dark and almost tender.
- Warm the second tablespoon of oil in a shallow pan. Chop the green onions and let them soften for five minutes or so in the oil. Set aside.
- Peel the beets and chop the flesh coarsely. Put them in the pan with the onions, pour over the stock, and bring to a boil. Simmer for seven or eight minutes, cool slightly, then purée in a blender until smooth. Check the seasoning. It will need salt and black pepper. Pour into a pitcher and chill in the refrigerator.
- To make the cream, remove the skin from the goat cheese and mash the flesh with a fork. Stir in the yogurt and chopped herbs. Serve the soup when it is thoroughly chilled, adding spoonfuls of the herb cream at the table.
