Vegan Beetroot Borscht


Today is a cold autumn day. The wind is howling and the leaves started to fall. I really wanted to make a hot, flavorful soup to warm me up from inside out and enjoy it while I watch a good, old movie. I decided to make this lovely, ruby-colored beetroot soup.

This recipe is similar to the Ukrainian borscht but it is vegan; it does not contain any beef broth.

Enjoy this wonderful beet borscht, perfect for a cold weather day.
