"I made the soup a few days ago and loved the flavor, I guess you could call this a borsht but minus the beef. I used 4 cups half water and 4 cups chicken broth, if you make it using all water or all vegetable broth that makes it vegan/vegetarian. I made this soup a day ahead to allow all the flavors to blend I strongly suggest to do the same you will be amazed at the amount of increased flavor. I enjoyed this soup with homemade garlic croutons that I added on in the bowl. Make sure to use good quality canned stewed tomatoes, generic just won't do, I used Hunt's brand and make certain to use Italian-flavored if you can't find Italian-flavored then add in 2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning"

Perky flavour loaded soup. I was a bit heavy handed with the chili flkes but we love spice. I used all chicken low sodium broth no water.   I used Yellow beets ( I had them on hand)  worked well. Made the full recipes and have frozen 4 containers. Lovely Soup Thanks Kitten
