Delicious regardless of the season, borscht is comfort food from a simpler time at its finest – pureed or chunky, with or without potatoes, with or without a dollop of sour cream, hot or cold — this sweet, hearty yet simple borscht is sure to please.

Why I love this recipe

This recipe was inspired by my late grandmother Grace’s delicious beet borscht. I just adored her.
