Ingredients

3 pounds beets (about 12 medium)
4 cups apple juice
4 cups water
6 tablespoons lemon juice
1 each salt pinch
2 cups yogurt, non-fat plain
1/2 cup yogurt, non-fat plain, garnish
6 each radishes red, large, diced, garnish
1/2 cup cucumber seedless, diced, garnish

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Wash beets well; trim stems and roots, leaving one inch of each.

Wrap beets individually in aluminum foil and place on baking sheet.

Bake for 1 1/2 hours or until tender.

Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.

Remove skins.

Coarsely grate the beets.

Place beets in a heavy pot.

Add the apple juice, water, lemon juice and salt.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cook soup for 15 minutes, partially covered, skimming foam that rises to top.

Remove from heat and cool to room temp.

Place 2 cups yogurt in a bowl and whisk in about 3 cups of the soup.

Gradually whisk this mixture back into the soup pot until thoroughly combined.

Chill completely in the refrigerator.

Serve the borscht in bowls garnished with a dollop of yogurt, then sprinkle with the diced radishes and cucumbers.

A truly amazing combination of flavors. The dressing is divine, the warm and tart goat cheese combined with the sweetness of apple ring is truly out of this world.
