Borscht is a wonderful soup filled with carrots, potatoes, cabbage, and beets. This is perfect to make to warm the soul during the winter. We love to serve this soup with a dollup on sour cream on top. Thank you to Natasha at Natasha’s cafe for donating this recipe.

I’ve made this a few times now. My girlfriend and I can’t get enough.
The only thing lacking here was black pepper. Then it’s perfect!
