I might serve this hot, my husband doesn’t like anything cold except for salad. I do have big beetroots to be eaten.

Somewhere, in the depths of my recipe notebooks, I've got a recipe for a Polish beetroot soup called "Barszcz" ( I suppose that sounds like borscht) served with "Uska" (which means little ears) - dumplings filled with mushrooms. I seem to remember it's a bit complicated, or at least, laborious to make, but well worthwhile. The soup, unusually, is clear.
