Easy Borsht

I love borsht and cook it at least once a week. It is a light, gluten-free soup which is perfect for those on a weight loss diet. Due to potato and beets content, borsht is not suitable for ketogenic or low-carb diets.

I used to make borsht in a more complicated way but then I met lady from Ukraine at the cultural fair in Canada. She was selling Ukranian cuisine and her borsht was too good. She shared with me her borsht perfecting tricks, namely, in which order it is best to add the veggies. I tried what she suggested and it turned out really great. So here is the recipe.

Enjoy!
