linda’s vegan ukranian borscht
I have my grandmother’s recipe for Borscht from the Ukraine, which of course has meat added. I used my grandmother’s base recipe without adding meat, and played with it to get an almost identical flavor profile in making it vegan. My sister who has gone vegan was very surprised with the outcome and loves it. This is delicious warm or cold and you can blend it up to make a smooth soup as well.
