"This version of beet borscht is an adaptation from a renowned local Ukrainian restaurant. Quick and easy to make, this soup is hearty and delicious the day you make it, but if you can stand to wait it is even better the next day. Because I like to make soup in larger quantities, I usually double this recipe and it will then yield enough for plenty of leftovers."
