| Borscht |
Borscht is another classic Ukrainian soup. This is a hearty soup recipe that should be eaten as a meal. There are many versions of this soup and I have several to share over time.
Once again, be sure to buy your beets organic. They grow underground and you may want to avoid the heavy metals from within the soil.
Beets can be very messy and will stain your hands. My secret is wearing surgical gloves while peeling and grating the beets. No more red hands for me.
This recipe calls for canned beans, which I will avoid adding if I don't have time to pre-boil a cup of beans prior to making this soup. Normally, I choose to skip out on an ingredient rather than use something that has been sitting in an aluminum can.
*Fresh
summer beets can be boiled with its skin on and once cooled, peel and freeze as a whole.
