I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out bitter. I think I might have used the wrong type of cabbage.

This soup is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll add a little bit of vinegar next time.

This soup is a bit too sour for my taste, but I think it would be perfect with a dollop of sour cream.

This soup was easy to make and very flavorful. I used a combination of red and golden beets, which gave it a beautiful color. I also added a little bit of horseradish, which gave it a nice kick.

I'm not usually a fan of vegetarian soups, but this one was surprisingly delicious. The beets gave it a beautiful color and a slightly sweet flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.
