Rating is based on my final product with additions. I agree with the previous reviewer that the soup lacks flavour. However, it's easily fixable. I added the juice of one lemon, loads of fresh dill and some additional salt. We really enjoyed the soup after that. It was super healthy and really satisfying. Thanks Enjolinfam! Made for ZWT 4.

I really wanted to like this more as it is so healthy!! It is a WW dream. I felt it lacked flavour and I am guessing the flavour I may be looking for comes from those nice soup bones. ;+) I did really enjoy the beans in it which is different from any other Borsch I have had. I used Navy beans. I made this for ZWT4. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
