Midday Entree: Russian Roasted Beet Soup and Potato Salad

The Music:
Symphony No. 5 in E minor, Op. 64, by Peter Ilyich Tchaikowsky
London Symphony Orchestra, Igor Markevitch, conductor
Philips 438 335


The Recipe:
Like Gazpacho, the traditional Slavic beet soup is often served cold, as in this recipe. We realize for many this may be a challenging culinary hurdle to navigate if the only way you've ever had soup is hot. But don't knock it till you've tried it.

The accompanying potato salad is a refreshing change, too. So why not live on the edge? Take the plunge by clicking here.
