Russian Borscht

If you make the parve version of this borscht, using vegetable stock without any meat, serve each portion with a tablespoon of sour cream.

Ingredients for Russian Borscht

  • 2 potatoes cut into small cubes
  • 1 onion cut into small cubes
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 carrots peeled and grated
  • 1 large or 2 small beet grated
  • ¼ head white Cabbage shredded into thin strips
  • 3-4 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) oil
  • 3 quarts (2¾ liters) beef or chicken stock (or vegetable stock for the vegetarian version)
  • Salt
  • 1.1 pounds (500 grams) ground beef cut into cubes (optional)

Instructions

  • 1. Heat the oil in a pot. Sauté the onion and garlic cloves and add the grated carrots and beets (if making the meat version, this is when you would add the beef cubes; fry them lightly until they brown).

  • 2. Add the stock, bring to a boil and cook for about another 10 minutes.

  • 3. Add the potato cubes and continue cooking for about another 10 minutes.

  • 4. Add the cabbage and season to taste with salt and pepper.
