Borsht is one of my favorite soups and I like to make it often. I also took photos a few before, but I was never hundred percent happy with them. Finally, at this time I can say they turned out well, although there is always room for improvement. Nevertheless, what is the most important about this Sweet and Sour Borscht is the tangy flavor and the nutritional value.

Not to mention, low-cost ingredients, although, raw cashews are not exactly cheap. That goes for the vegan sour cream if you decide to make your own. However, the fact that the rest of the ingredients are so inexpensive will balance that out. Wouldn’t you think? Also, the flavor is worth it, especially when mixed with the soup. Believe me, it is a pure delight! What is also great about Borsht, is that it can be eaten hot or cold. It can warm your belly during cold winter months or it can be a refreshing yet filling during the summer.

The other thing I would like to mention is that there is no need for sugar or sweetener to be added. For some reason, the veggies are sweet enough and all you need is to add apple cider vinegar to give it a little punch. I don’t know about you, but I love sweet and sour flavors, so I guess, this is one of the reasons why I love it so much.
