SAUERKRAUT AND RED BEET BORSCHT

Sauerkraut and Red Beet Borscht image

Yum, yum. I can't get enough of this soup this winter. A very tasty way to use fresh beets. This is a deviation from a recipe I read that also tosses in beef cubes in the end. We aren't huge red meat fans here so I took out the meat and made a few adjustments. The sauerkraut really gives the borscht an extraordinary flavor.
