There are dozens of variations on borscht, the Eastern European beet soup. Some (like this one) are served hot, others chilled; some are pureed until smooth, others are chunky -- but all showcase the beauty of beets.

This recipe appears in our cookbook "Martha Stewart's Vegetables" (Clarkson Potter).| Martha Stewart
