Cold Borscht

Ingredients (13)

• 2 pounds beets, peeled
• 2 carrots, peeled
• 3 celery sticks
• 4 Tablespoons butter
• 1 white onion, sliced
• 1/2 -1 red onion, sliced (You could just use white onion. I just happened to have this laying around.)
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 whole cloves
• 5 whole peppercorns
• 8-10 Cups chicken/beef/veggie stock. I actually think the veggie stock kept it pretty light and summery.
• Salt and pepper
• Sour cream and chives (for garnish)
