A cousin of Hash. In the village Guard dankovskiy area my mother grew up. And she also helped me to fix this recipe, which was made by her grandmother, my great-grandmother. So family mom made the beet soup at the end of the hungry 46-48 years of the last century. And almost the same beet soup, only more rich in composition were treated to a little Light, as she very vaguely remembers, but mom helped with that. Botvinya almost forgotten dish, but in those lean years was irreplaceable, because in the course were all sorts of edible greens, nettle, goutweed, orache. I tried to reproduce exactly the recipe my childhood my mom.
