Borscht

I love it. My mum makes an awesome Borscht. Heck, my father (well, he was our resident the soup maker) even makes an awesome borscht. So, I had to admit I was a little intimidated to try my own...



It was so good and just like I remember.


To top it off, I was able to use fresh baby beets and green beans from a neighbour's garden on the Sunshine Coast. How great is that? (I could have even used fresh peas, but didn't have it in me.) I wouldn't recommend the baby beats, though. Lot's of peeling and hard to cut up. But they were tasty! Rubber gloves are a must.

I'll eat my borscht with sour cream as it should be eaten, but prefer mine naked.

Car tried this recipe awhile ago and has a funny story from the recipe giving end of things. Speaking of recipes, we are attempting (yes, a solid try!) to get back into recipe testing again. Looks like we will finalize this by 2020...
