One summer we had a bumper crop of peaches from our two trees, so I had fun experimenting with different recipes. After seeing a beet soup recipe in a cookbook, I changed it a bit to include our homegrown golden beets and sweet peaches. —Sue Gronholz, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin

Ingredients

2 pounds fresh golden beets, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups white grape-peach juice
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 teaspoon finely chopped fresh tarragon
2 medium fresh peaches, peeled and diced
Fresh tarragon sprigs

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°. Place beets in a 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Drizzle with oil; toss to coat. Roast until tender, 40-45 minutes. Cool slightly.
Transfer beets to a blender or food processor. Add juice and vinegar; process until smooth. Refrigerate at least 1 hour. In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt and chopped tarragon; refrigerate.
To serve, divide beet mixture among individual bowls; place a spoonful of yogurt mixture in each bowl. Top with diced peaches and tarragon sprigs.

Test Kitchen tips

For a whole different taste sensation, substitute ½ tsp. chopped fresh basil, fresh thyme or fresh chives for the tarragon.

If you prefer, you can blend the herb of your choice with the beets rather than mixing it with the yogurt.

For a creamier soup, add more plain Greek yogurt.
