Red Russian

Borshch. 

I've been wanting to make the Russian beetoroot soup  forever.
It looks gorgious - and I've never tasted it. 

So, then, on the dinner menu for today was borshch,
and I made this Russian dish using the one beetroot I had, half an onion, half a carrot, a slice of cabbage,
and grated, peppered and boiled it all for half an hour in three dl of broth. 

I was supposed to put in both bay leaf ? (laurbærblad) and vinegar but forgot all about it.
Still, it looked fantastic!
And I loved it :)

As you can see, there's just the one plate. My daughter refused to even have a taste. 

So while I was busy shooting my dinner, she was in the kitchen preparing sausages in a pan :)

 Amazing colour in the beetroot.
