Borscht without Beets • Serves 6

Description

Beetroot is not everyone’s cup of tea and we get that. There are no beets in this borscht recipe, but this is still a very traditional Ukrainian borscht. Full of tomato and cabbage flavor this borscht is a treat for those who don’t love beets but still crave some traditional borscht soup.

The kit is packaged into a beautiful collectible tin with traditional Ukrainian floral design on the lid.
