Borscht

I love this soup because the only consistent ingredient needs to be beets. You can add whatever else you have on hand. My staples for this soup usually include chicken broth, beets, and potatoes. Dill adds a flavor, and I usually add a bit of egg and flour mixture to thicken the soup base. If the beets are already roasted or if you are using canned, this can be put together in minutes. I like to chop my beets into matchstick shape and grate the potatoes to hashbrown consistency.

Ingredients:

• 1 freshly roasted and matchsticked beet
• chicken broth
• 1 idaho potato
• 1 green onion
• handful of dill
• dried onion
• 1 small beaten egg
• 2 tsp flour
• salt
• pepper
• garlic
• grated potatoes
• lemon juice

Directions:

• Heat chicken broth
• Add beets, potato, and onion
• Add spices
• Add flour/egg to thicken
• Stir constantly to avoid lumps
• Add additional seasonings if necessary

Enjoy!
