Best Beet Borscht

The Best Beet Borscht In Eastern Europe, where borscht is king, you could eat a different recipe of borscht every week of the year, and each would be authentic. Although borscht is thought of as a beet dish, the word means any soup made with a variety of vegetables.

Notice that the vegetables are slow and low...

I remember many visits to her house and smelling the delicious cooking aromas that lingered in the air. This next recipes was one of her best offerings and she would produce several batches which were presold each season. I remember as a lad helping her pick, clean and peel several baskets of fruit and vegetables for this purpose.
