Chilled Golden Beetroot Soup

This is a great soup to trick guests and keep them guessing as to what you are, serving. Beetroot would be the last thing they would think of, but golden beet - one of several old varieties on the market - makes a stunning soup.

You can finish it with all sorts of things - horseradish will give the soup a kick, or you might prefer a little shredded ham or salted ox tongue.
