Terry's vegetarian Ukrainian borscht is so thick with vegetables, you can barely drag a spoon through it. It's got a lovely balance of tart vinegar and natural sweetness from the beets, and a melange of textures from carefully diced carrots, potatoes, onions and, the secret ingredient, a mix of frozen vegetables.
