Botvinnik with chicken

A worthy replacement for borscht. Delicious and easy to prepare. This summer, when thinning beets in the garden, my husband came up with the idea to cook botvinnik from the torn out excess beet growth. Saying that his grandmother used to feed him this soup often. I reacted to his proposal, to be honest, I was incredulous. But once a man asks... As a basis for cooking, I took a recipe for borscht, which I usually cook, but instead of cabbage I used beet tops. The result exceeded all my expectations. It turned out very tasty. Now, with pleasure, we eat botvinik all summer and autumn season with the whole family.
