With the warm summer weather, a bowl of piping hot soup doesn’t always sounds too appetizing. But fear not, there are tons of cold soup options including this delicious and simple beauty of a soup! Beets, apples and leeks join together in this recipe to offer an alternative to a classic Beet Borscht.. with a lighter flavour that everyone will enjoy. One common mistake I find myself running into whenever I make a cold soup is that I often leave it until the last minute.. or the last couple hours and it doesn’t have enough time to fully cool. You can make this soup a day in advance, or the morning / early afternoon of when you plan to eat it in order to give yourself enough time and ensure you are serving up this soup how it is intended.. COLD! This past Fall, OHEA members formed a committee to respond to Canada's Food Guide Consultation - Phase 1. The committee recently responded to Phase 2 - Proposed guiding principles, recommendations and considerations. After taking all responses into consideration, new Canada's Food Guide resources will be rolled out beginning in early 2018. Please click HERE to see the Phase 1 response and HERE for the for Phase 2 response from OHEA.
