SOUTHWEST BORSCHT AND TEX/MEX GRILLED CHEESE
This is soup and a sandwich, adult style. You won't get a tastier version in a restaurant, and this is easy and inexpensive but full of flavor. The sweetness of the beets goes well with the smokiness of the cumin and the tang of the green chile. You can use any artisan bread you like for the sandwich. We like rye bread because it goes with the borscht. Feel free to experiment.
