Steps:
- Put the beets in a kettle; add water to cover and salt to taste. Bring to a boil, cover and cook 30 minutes or longer until tender. Cooking time will depend on the size and age of the beets. Drain beets and peel.
- Put two beets into a food processor or electric blender and blend thoroughly. Add 1/2 cup of the beef broth and blend once more. Spoon and scrape the mixture into a saucepan.
- Cut the remaining beet into thin slices. Stack the slices and cut them into thin strips (julienne). There should be about 1/3 cup.
- Put the vinegar, 1/4 cup water and caraway seeds in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the remaining broth and cook 5 minutes. Strain the broth and discard the seeds.
- Heat the puree of beets and pour in the caraway broth. Bring to a boil.
- Cut the ham into very thin strips. There should be about 1/4 cup.
- Whip cream and add it to the soup, beating with a wire whisk. Add salt and pepper; bring to simmer.
- Pour the soup into 6 cups and garnish each portion with thin strips of beet and ham.
