Borscht – 2023
A decade of making Borsch, and every year it changes for Orthodox Christmas. It's not supposed to be complicated, but there can be a lot added to it. It's soup. There's not too much to say. I like to make it a day beforehand, so the flavours can merge. To save stove space, it's good to keep in a slow cooker.
Ingredients
- 2 Litre Beef Broth Spend the extra dollar on better broth
