Using a food processor or electric blender, puree sliced beets with their liquid for one minute. Add broth, ½ cup sour cream, lemon juice, onion, sugar, and dill to the beets. Season with salt and puree the mixture until it is smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape the sides of the container with a rubber spatula.
