HUNGARIAN BORSCHT

Hungarian Borscht image

This Borscht is not really Hungarian, but tastes like it should be. It has a very unique taste and is exceptionally delicious. I created this recipe 16 years ago and it is part of my cookbook that I published. Most everyone could not believe how well the Kraft Catalina dressing enhances the soup flavor.
