I was looking to use up some beets from my garden and found this recipe. The gorgeous photo by NcMysteryShopper lured me in, and I am glad it did. This was outstanding! So yummy using fresh dill, carrots, beets, and other things grown by hand. I began by using water instead of stock for the base, but then later decided it lacked a bit of flavor and so added three veggie bouillon cubes to the broth. This was just the right amount! Hubby said he will request this one often. Thanks!
