Beefy Borscht ~ Celebrate Pinktober!

Beefy Borscht ~ Celebrate Pinktober!

With this being October, I was originally focusing on pumpkins and squashes (which is also a wonderful thing!); however, it is also breast cancer awareness month.  This recipe is in honor of my grandmother (single mastectomy) and my little way to contribute to breast cancer awareness…I hope you enjoy this very YUMMY soup!!
