UKRANIAN PEASANT BORSCHT
My grandmother always made this borscht in the fall and winter. She never made anything by recipe so this is my version. The kids and neighbors love it and always ask when I'm going to make it again. Or tell me I should have made a bigger pot.

[email protected]I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of beets, but I'm so glad I did! The beets add a wonderful sweetness to the soup, and they're not overpowering at all. This is now one of my favorite soups.
