Summer Green Borsch

There is something of a sorcerer about this dish—a big cauldron bubbling on the stove with lots of different herbs and a mighty beef bone! The soup is a beautiful example of how Ukrainian food can be light, absolutely delicious, and so good for you. I was taught how to make this borsch by Ivan, a chef who has worked in some of the best restaurants in Odesa. He explained that you can add other herbs to the mix here (nettles and wild garlic are particularly good if you can get ahold of them).
