Now that sounds tasty and would be very filling. I don't know my kinds of potatoes that well , but we have potatoes that we call baking potatoes. They are bigger and I think they would work. They are so different from the new potatoes. You are right, the new ones would turn gloopy. I always remember that we couldn't mash the new spring potatoes. They were boiled and eaten with a little butter.

I like beets, but I seldom have them. I don't know why not. They are always available and sometimes very cheap.
I like them boiled, but I really like pickled beets. Beets are good in a proper borsch. It is the one soup I don't make. It never turns out good. I have eaten beets raw. They were shredded with lemon juice and seasonings. I don't have the recipe, but they were tasty.

I wonder what else we can make from beets. In the fall they go on sale and I can get 10 pounds for $2.00. I really need to start buying them and using them. I could freeze them like the squash and carrots. I wonder if beets and squash would make a good soup together?
