This simple sounding recipe is sooo good! Everyone raves about it, including die-hard eastern European borscht snobs.(You know who you are.)The only change I make is that I use vegetarian beef flavoured cubes + water to equal the amount of beef broth.I've used this recipe for years.Thank you so much .
