This is a very old recipe for borsch ( a type of soup originated in
Russia). This is a summer borsch that is supposed to be eaten
cold. It's delicious and it's supposed to be a red color because of
the beets in it.

Summer Borsch:
Ingredients: 5-6 meduim sized beets (peeled)
                2-3 meduim peeled potatoes
                2 pounds of spinach (chopped)
                4 packs of chopped scallions
                1 bunch of chopped parsley
            4-5 tbsp of lemon juice
            salt, sugar and vegeta according to taste

Boil water and put in potatoes & beets
 Mix chopped spinach, scallions, and parsley in a big bowl
 After beets are cooked, take them out

spinach
