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

  • 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.
