Warm food for cold nights

As we roll into October and the local fresh vegetables disappear, I have a new appreciation for borscht. How can 3 beets, 4 carrots, 3 potatoes, 1 onion and a bit of fresh dill (well, fresh from the freezer) taste so good? As the Russians know so well, it's the perfect winter food.
