Beet and Beet Green Borscht image

I've had a few rounds of making borscht, but I really like yellow beets, which we often get at the farmer's markets here, and I don't always like cabbage in it. In this version I take advantage of the lovely tasty beet greens that I used to just toss. I like to top with greek yogurt, and this dish is insanely light with fat free yogurt without loosing anything. ... highly recommended.
