Ingredients:

  • 3 lb medium beets without greens (8 medium; about 4 lb with greens), scrubbed well and trimmed, leaving 1 inch of stems attached
  • 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 lb smoked turkey legs or wings
  • 2 carrots , cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 2 celery ribs, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 large onion , cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 garlic clove, smashed
  • 4 sprigs fresh dill
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • accompaniment: liver and mushroom pirozhki link

Directions:

  1. Boil beets, covered, in water (4 quarts) in a 6- to 8-quart pot over moderate heat until tender, about 40 minutes. Transfer beets with a slotted spoon to a plate to cool slightly, reserving cooking water. When beets are cool enough to handle, slip off skins. Cut 1 beet into 1/4-inch dice and reserve for garnish. Cut remaining beets into 1/2-inch pieces and return to cooking liquid in pot. Add turkey, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, dill sprigs, bay leaf, salt, and peppercorns and simmer, partially covered, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Pour soup through a dampened cheesecloth-lined sieve set into a 3-quart heavy saucepan, discarding solids. Measure soup: If there is more than 6 cups, boil in cleaned pot until reduced; if there is less, add enough water to total 6 cups.
  2. Skim fat from consommé, then add lemon juice and sugar and heat until hot.
  3. Divide diced beet and chopped dill among 8 shallow soup plates and ladle consomm on top.
  4. Cooks' note: Consommé, without diced beet and chopped dill, can be made 1 week ahead and cooled completely, uncovered, then chilled, covered.
