Beet Soup
For taste and texture, nothing beats beets in a salad or soup. I make this soup in advance and serve it right out of the refrigerator. I ask my guests if they want theirs á la vieille Russie (traditionally served hot with a swirl of sour cream) or the French way.INGREDIENTS
1 pound red beets, cooked and cubed
1 cup yogurt
2 tablespoons minced shallots
1 teaspoon minced garlic
Pinch of cumin
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons dill
Yield: 4 Servings
1 cup yogurt
2 tablespoons minced shallots
1 teaspoon minced garlic
Pinch of cumin
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons dill
Yield: 4 Servings
RECIPE
Combine the beets and yogurt, and stir well. Add the shallots, garlic and cumin. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and mix well. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Serve in chilled soup bowls after correcting seasoning and sprinkling with the dill.

FRENCH WOMAN'S MANIFESTO
French women choose their own indulgences and compensations. They understand that little things count, both additions and subtractions, and that as an adult everyone is the keeper of her own equilibrium.
