I don’t know about you, but beet soup (also called borscht) isn’t the most appealing sounding meal. The name conjures an image of an old Russian grandmother trying to use a bumper-crop of beets. What I didn’t realize is that Borscht is an amazingly flavorful, nourishing, and delicious soup that’s easy to make and freezes like a dream.
