Growing up, I’m not so sure I was as big a fan of beets as has been the case in my adulthood. Maybe it was because my Dad wasn’t a fan, and we didn’t eat them very often. With kid logic, my siblings and I often joked that we might “hide beets in Dad’s mashed potatoes”. Well, that would have worked out in a predictable way.
The first weeks of August have been very hot and sticky here in Massachusetts, so I was looking to find a nice, refreshing, and cool (cold) soup. And, as she’s done in the past, Ina Garten came to my rescue!
