Recipe by Rianne Chittenden
As we’re now officially in late winter, toggling between cold, dry winter days and warmer, wetter spring days, Borscht Soup is the perfect balance to heat up digestion with the lingering cold and helps to get things moving from the stagnation of winter. I find this recipe so soothing and personally love the dill! It is refreshing and rejuvenating, clears the sinuses and increases digestive strength (Agni in Sanskrit!).
