Beetroot cream soup with horseradish dumplings - FSA

I was a bit aprehensive about making this as when I first got thermie I tried making the borsch out of EDC and failed miserably, what made it worse was that my polish partner went on for ages about how a machine can't make a traditional recipe (grr to he who can't even cook!)

Anyway I made this the other day for our lunch (sunday as it take a little while with the dumplings) and it was really nice, a beautiful purply pink colour, creamy and perfectly complemented by the dumplings, fussy polish boy went back for seconds and wants me to make again so it has passed the 'authentic beetroot cookery' test!

The only annoying thing was is I could not get fresh horseradish (sigh living in the Pilbara!) I had to use jarred which I don't like doing because of the yukky preservatives but everything else was fresh so it was all good.

Yummy 4.5/5

Thanks for that. My DH's parents were from the Ukraine so he loves that sort of thing.  It took me many years when we were "dating" to even try Borscht.

Thanks - I hadn't even noticed that recipe before until you pointed it out. Just flicked past it - will attempt it now . ;)

Thanks for the review - for those without the FSA book, a rough interpretation here:
