Beet Soup/vegan – We Love God!

The Day of Judgment will reveal strange things. The hopes of many, who were thought great Christians while they lived, will be utterly confounded. The rottenness of their religion will be exposed and put to shame before the whole world. It will then be proved, that to be saved means something more than “making a profession.” We must make a “practice” of our Christianity as well as a “profession.” Let us often think of that great day. Let us often “judge ourselves, that we be not judged,” and condemned by the Lord.

INSTRUCTIONS

I came home from the Farmer's Market Saturday with 2 bunches of  beets,
and I turned to my copy of Vegetarian Soup Cuisine by Jay  Solomon (a
fave of mine!) and found an interesting soup that I loved!  I don't
have the book with me, but it is something like this (with my  fatfree
adaptations):  "Sautee" onions and garlic in wine. Add part "B". Simmer
45 minutes  or so, until all is tender. Add part "C".  let cool
slightly, put a portion at a time in the food processor or  blender and
process until smooth. (be careful, you will have a huge  red mess
otherwise)  Pour back into soup pot and heat gently, serve hot. Garnish
with a  sprig of dill or parsley.  (optional - add a dollop of ff
yogurt or sour cream on each bowl)  Now - we liked this but found it a
bit bland, so I added another 1/2  teaspoon salt and a couple
tablespoons prepared horseradish, and  voila, suberp soup.  Jay Soloman
has several vegetarian cookbooks, not fatfree but easy to  adapt. I
love his Lean Bean Cuisine.  Posted to fatfree digest V97 #191 by Jan
