Easy Superfood Borsch Recipe
There are 5 superfoods in this borsch: quinoa, beets, kale, onion (did you know onion was a superfood?), and beet greens (the greens from the stock of the beets). If you can't find the beets with stems on; no worries, just use a little more kale.

Ingredients
- 12 cups reduced sodium chicken broth (beef or veggie broth is ok)

- 1/4 cup quinoa

- 1 Tbsp Mrs. Dash
- 3 Tbsp ketchup
- 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
- S&P to taste
Steps
-
Fill a large soup pot with 12 cups broth and place over medium/high heat (or use 12 cups water and 4 Tbsp Reduced Sodium Better than Bouillon paste; that's what I use). Toss in the halved onion.
-
Bring to a simmer, then add the chopped potatoes, quinoa and carrots. Let cook 5 minutes.
-
Add grated beets, toss in a couple bay leaves, 2 large handfuls of chopped kale and the beet greens if you are using them. Stir to combine. Bring to a light boil and continue to cook uncovered 20 minutes. Your veggies should be soft when done. Discard the cooked onion halves if desired.
-
Add 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice, 1 Tbsp Mrs Dash (or your favorite seasoning) and 3 Tbsp ketchup. Bring back to a boil and season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste (I used 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper and 1 tsp sea salt. Serve with Sour cream or mayo :)
