Why am I thinking about Vegan Borscht? It’s early, I know; but people are already thinking about Passover. We’ll be home this year and the menus will be on me. Vegan Borscht works because my vegetarian daughter can eat it as well as the rest of us; but it’s also delicious. Serve it hot with cubed cooked potatoes or matzah balls and diced cucumber for crunch. You can also serve this Borscht cold with hot cubed potatoes and diced cucumbers. The contrasting temperatures of the cold borscht and the warm potatoes is a treat.
To turn this Vegan Borscht into a dairy one, pour the borscht into a large bottle with a top. Add about a pint of sour cream to the borscht and shake vigorously. Alternatively, you can just add a scoop of sour cream into each bowl of borscht.
For those who crave a heartier borscht, try my Meat Borscht. Add the potatoes and cucumbers and you have a meal in a bowl.
Hint: This recipe can be doubled or tripled.
