Borscht

This gorgeous soup is a great way to use up leftover roasted beets. Although beets are higher in sugar than some carbs, they are an excellent source of fiber.

3 or 4 medium beets
1 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper
1 tbsp butter or olive oil
1 onion
2-3 cups vegetable stock
1 tsp sour cream
1 green onion, chopped

Cook the beets using the previously posted recipe.
In a large skillet, add onion and butter. Cook 5-6 minutes, then season with salt and pepper. Add beets and vegetable stock, then bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and cook 15 minutes.
Pour soup into blender and puree until smooth. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and diced green onions.
