Borscht is a perfect hearty soup for Fall. A Ukrainian speciality made primarily of beets and other veggies, it is loaded with nutrients and has a fantastic purple colouring which I love serving especially during autumn months. I took a traditional vegetable borscht recipe and added a few Cashmere & Camo touches like bison bacon and baked beans to get this delicious bison borscht recipe (for a printable recipe card click here). Serve it hot or cold, my preference is hot so you can add a healthy dollop of sour cream or greek yogurt and dill to the top. To serve with I would use either a dark rye bread or you can make these Honey, Parmesan & Rosemary Scones!
