Directions:

  1. In a large cooking pot, add spareribs, onion, bay leaf, allspice, black peppercorns, white vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, carrots, celery and cover with 6 cups of water or more if required to cover.
  2. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until the spareribs are tender.
  3. In large saucepan, add scrubbed beets and cover with 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until beets are fork tender.
  4. Drain well and cover with cold water and let cool for 10 minutes.
  5. Peel and grate beets and set aside.
  6. In the meantime in a large saucepan, add potatoes and cover with 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Drain well, mash and set aside.
  7. When the spareribs are tender, remove from cooking pot and strip the meat off the bones and return meat to the cooking pot. Add the grated beets to pot.
  8. Remove bay leaf and discard.
  9. Puree the soup in batches in a food processor or blender and return to cooking pot.
  10. Strain the soup through a sieve and return to cooking pot, discarding any solids.
  11. In a large bowl, whisk together sour cream, whole milk and flour until blended.
  12. Add 2 cups of hot broth to the sour cream mixture slowly, and whisk continuously until well blended. Strain the mixture through a sieve into the cooking pot, stirring continuously; discard any solids.
