    Did you know:

    When I first heard about this soup I thought “Sounds delicious but I bet it’s pretty fatty.” After I did it’s nutrition analysis, as the traditional recipe with meat and sour cream, my thought was confirmed. So with the help of some vegan chef’s I was able to recreate it as not only a vegan soup but a soup filled with lot’s of anti-oxidants offered from dill, beets, and vegetable broths.
