Valentines Beet Soup (Borsch Variation)

This original and colorful soup is a variation of Borsch, a traditional soup in Russia, Ukraine, and Poland. I love this soup's subtle blend of flavors. It's a salty sweet treat that warms and sparks your taste buds. Plus, the color is perfect for Valentines Day!
