Borscht

You may be wondering...Borscht is a Russian soup.  I found the recipe in the binder of recipes my mother-in-law gave us, and figured I'd try it and expand my soup options for this fall and winter.  I won't share the exact recipe, but it's made with beef, carrots, onions, celery, green pepper, vodka, veggie broth, tomatoes, cabbage, beets, and vinegar.  I've never cooked with beets before; never really eaten them before.  I think this was a good way to introduce beets - incorporated in soup instead of eating it straight up.  I like the earthiness and heartiness of the soup.  To make it even more hearty, you serve the soup over a dollop of sour cream (or greek yogurt).  Delicious.
