Garden fresh borscht tonight. Everything from the garden, onions, beets, cabbage, carrots, celery with a dollop of homemade yoghurt. Yum!

Borscht is a common slavic soup, native to Ukraine and Russia. When we were in Kyiv we had borscht almost every day and no two were the same.
 
It looks tasty!

I noticed that the bread was running out and had time to bake a loaf. I had the hankering for rye. The recipe leaves a little more than a single loaf. The kid was off of school so we brought the small loaf over to my aunt who is thrilled when she gets loafs without any preservatives. It’s a good excuse to check up on her. We brought her some apples too, lol.
 
I love borsch, @begreen. I wish I had some beets on hand. When you say that everything was from the garden, was that freshly harvested during a mild winter or put by in your root cellar or pantry?

Yesterday I cooked up two gallons of turkey broth but used three quarts of it immediately to make a big batch of pumpkin soup. I wanted to have the broth on hand in case we lose power in the coming days since soups are fairly easy either on the woodstove or on an induction burner that we can power if we need to. The storm hasn't hit us yet, so tonight the menu is spaghetti with homemade meatballs and sauce made from the roasted roma purée from the freezer.
