What is Borscht?
A rich vegetable soup that has beets, cabbage, and potatoes.
Where has Borscht originated from?
It is widely believed that Borscht has originated from Russia.
Borscht can be twisted as one may wish, for instance, add more beets to have a deep pink color or so.
Can I add beef or chicken to it?
Of course, you can a variety of meats like stewing beef, oxtail, pork sausage, or chicken.
Can I skip beets?
It wouldn’t be a problem to do so although beets are an essential ingredient in borscht.
For me, borscht equals beet soup whereas in Mennonite tradition beets aren’t part of the borscht recipe.
Can I freeze the soup and reuse it?
Absolutely, it reheats well and it doesn’t really matter if you use either the stove or microwave.
The soup can easily last for 3-4 days in the fridge. But make sure not to add the sour cream otherwise it’d be a disaster 😉
