Borscht on a snowy day

Today we have wet heavy snow hitting from all sides. Roof is groaning, walkway is slick, wind is blowing, perfect for staying inside. And perfect for a hot cup of soup. Since I harvested root vegetables this week, the soup is Ukrainian borscht "Olga style". What you will learn is that Olga style translates to mean pretty much anything I have on hand. In this case it was all perfectly suited for borscht...namely red beets (I am saving the gold beets for salad), fingerling potatoes, cabbage, onions, carrots and herbs. It all starts with a hearty chicken stock with proportions of veggies added as deemed necessary. A dollop of sour cream will go on top tomorrow to perk up reheated soup. That's soup Olga style.
