DOUKHOBOR VEGETARIAN BORSCHT
I found this in my mother's collection of recipes. We lived in Nelson, BC, Canada when I was a teenager in the 1950's. My Mom worked with some Doukhobor women. We were fortunate to be invited to a Doukhobor wedding. It was lovely and very different for us. The singing was very beautiful. I am sure this recipe was given to my Mom...
