let's have some fun this beet is sick

this beet is sick
this beet is sick by a.fox on
borscht recipe!!


2 beets (with the beet greens! or chard if the greens are gross)
an onion (or half of one)
some garlic
a potato
a carrot
a lemon
a beer
fresh dill
can of kidney or navy beans

chop everything to a size you're comfortable eating. EXCEPT THE BEER.
saute the onion and garlic together in a pot of comparable size to a pressure cooker. when the onion is soft and clear add the potato and saute longer. personally, i like my potato to be soft and the beets and carrots a little crisp, so i cook the potato a little longer. but you don't have to do it that way.
anyway, after a few minutes of sauteing things, fill the pot about half way with water, then add beets, carrots and a couple splashes of beer. stir! add a little bit of salt. let it simmer for a while, like 5-10 minutes, then add the can of beans and the beet greens. and more beer! stir some more! simmer for another 5-10 minutes.
cut up like 1/2a sprig of the dill and put some of it in the soup. add a little more salt and some pepper and stir. if it's lacking flavor add more beer and let it simmer a little longer. if you like dill a lot, put more in. after the flavor has cooked in more cut up the lemon and squeeze some lemon juice in there. the dill and the lemon will help give i that sour flavor it's suppose to have. it seems like it also tastes better the more beer it (i) has.

add salt and pepper to taste and tell people you're eating blood soup when they ask you what exciting thing you're eating.
