The soup sounds delightful--and beautiful. It must be great if you <i>dream</i> about it. I may have to try something like that myself, a sort of not-borscht beet soup.

However, I was with friends at a little resturant in Crestwood a couple summers ago and I had beet soup. It was a deep voluptious red, icy cold served in a white rimmed flat soup bowl with a swirl of apricot puree. Absolute HEAVEN! The chef kindly told me how he made it. Fresh cooked beets (baked?) in chicken broth and pureed! I've dreamed of it often. Hi Janet, I’m one of those that don’t care for beets.

And M, I love mac & cheese as much as I love beets, but I’m not sure I’ve ever tried them together. It’s on my list!

I am the mother with the strange experiments! I got the egg and beet idea from my Grandmother. She always added hard boiled eggs to her pickled beets. I have seen it done in other places too. I've never heard of using blue cheese, but it sounds wonderful, I will try it, along with some weird experimentations! I’ve enjoyed your website, I too am a beet lover.

Growing up, when we weren't having the Shake-n-Bake or creamed chip beef, my mom made homemade baked macaroni and cheese. The jar of pickled beets was always brought out for this dish. I loved how the beet juice made the macaroni and cheese pink! Thanks! M I think my favorite thing about beets is the color.

I also recommend a salad I've eaten but not made with beets, orange and fennel. Yum! Let me know how they work out for you, Gayla.

A quick Google search shows that your mother isn't alone in the beets-and-eggs combo. Sounds interesting. Does she know you call her experiments strange??<br /> <code></code><br /> Meanwhile, turns out the feta I had was of questionable palatability, and since I was going to be sharing my beets with friends last night, I didn't want to chance it. So I made small dice of some goat's milk cheddar and threw it on the beets. Tasted OK, but not nearly as wonderful or as pretty as blue cheese.<br /> <code></code><br /> p.s. Joy of joy, the skins came pretty darned near to slipping off the beets.</p> Good to know I’m not alone! A quick Google search shows that your mother isn’t alone in the beets-and-eggs combo.

My mom would can beets and drop a hard boiled egg in with them. I'm not sure if this was something she actually learned to do or was just one of her strange experiments. The egg eventually would take on the delightful, rich purple color and was quite good. Ok, so yes, I’ll admit it, I love beets too. My mom would can beets and drop a hard boiled egg in with them.
