Marina Sturza's Borscht
Delicious, hearty soup shared by student from ukraine during an international cooking demonstration while i was in grad school. No recipe but she graciously prepared the soup again for me in her kitchen while i estimated amounts. Despite initial reservations, my children love it. Even better when reheated as flavors blend more.
