I love this recipe. I grew up eating beets, so I expected the beet taste and knew it would be pink. I actually enjoy it more than borscht since the beet taste comes through much more with this.

Good beet soup. Unless you really love onion, you might find it's best to cut down on it a bit. A couple of Tablespoons is enough to give it good flavor for our tastes. I'm surprised at the reviews who didn't like the color. Of course it will be pink. Beets aren't white.

Wow, I don't know what to say, this was really, really not good. Neither my boyfriend or I are picky eaters at all, and we both like all of the ingredients individually; however, we poured this down the drain. I think part of it is the color--it may be natural, but it just doesn't look like anything you want to put into your body. After that, I'm not sure if it was the lemon or the onion (and I even cut back a bit on the onion), but something just wasn't right.

I ENJOYED THIS SOUP, BUT MY HUSBAND DIDN'T. HE DIDN'T LIKE IT CAUSE IT WAS PINK. IT'S GREAT, AND COOLS YOU DOWN, WHEN YOU EAT IT. THANKS FOR SHARING.

This soup is delicious! I used roasted beets and vidalia onion and followed the recipe exactly and it turned out fast, easy, and rich and tasty. Be sure you use a mild sweet onion since it is raw and the flavor clearly comes through. A very gourmet looking and tasting recipe yet so so easy. Thanks!

I hate giving bad reviews, but as an experienced cook I just couldn't let this one get by. I put it on my dinner table and polite guests were dumping it back into the serving pot! It was mortifying!

This is a gorgeous soup. It really needs sweet (maui) onions. We used red onions and it was way too oniony.

I added extra lemon juice (one whole lemon), onion, salt, lots of pepper and an entire 8 oz container of sour cream (plus extra for garnish), then added ice water until it was the right consistency I made this as a starter for a vegetarian dinner party, and everyone LOVED it. Delicious and simple!! My favorite kind of recipe!!!

I am not a great beet lover. However, this was fantastic. It took longer to wash and dry the blender than it did to make the soup. How do you spell "scrumptious"?
