Cold Borscht

1: In a pot, combine 7 cups of boiling water, 4 cups of shredded beets, and 1 medium Granny Smith apple. Boil for 30-40 minutes until shreds are soft.

2: Add 2 teaspoons of salt and mix well.

3: If you are dairy free and don’t plan to eat it with sour cream or yogurt, you can make a cashew yogurt by blending 100g soaked cashew with juice of one lemon, 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast, ½ teaspoon of salt, 2 cloves of garlic, and 80ml water until smooth.

4: Once the soup is cooked and cooled down completely and cold, serve with sliced cucumbers, dill, green onion, and a sliced hard boiled egg.

5: Add a tablespoon or more of homemade cashew yogurt or store-bought yogurt or sour cream on top.
