Borscht

Borscht by Muffet at flickr Borscht

Borscht is the best way to get healthy powerfood beets filled with
beta-carotenes and minerals into our diet. It is quick to cook, easy
to vary, and enjoyed by everyone, even children.

This is a traditional soup in Ukraine; many people from that country
landed in my home city of Edmonton.
This is my vegan version with just a few adjustments to the ingredient list.

There is one ingredient that makes this borscht special;
that is fresh dill and lots of it.
I garnish the soup with fresh dill at the end.
The taste of sweet beets and dill is so delightful.

These vegetables are all from my gardens or given to me from friends’ gardens, except for the dill that came from the farmer’s market.

We have included a picture of each step so you can be sure your know how its done……
