Ingredients

• 4 medium beets
• 2 medium carrots
• 3 medium potatoes
• 0.5 head cabbage
• 1 medium onion
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 8 cups vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons white vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh dill
• 4 tablespoons (optional, for serving) sour cream

Directions

Step 1

Wash, peel, and grate the beets and carrots. Dice the potatoes into bite-sized cubes. Finely shred the cabbage. Chop the onion and mince the garlic.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the grated beets and carrots. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables release their juices and soften.

Step 4

Add the tomato paste and sugar to the pot, stirring to coat the vegetables evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to deepen the flavor.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle boil. Add the diced potatoes and shredded cabbage to the pot. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes and cabbage are tender.

Step 6

Stir in the white vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Step 7

Ladle the borscht into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped dill. For a creamy finish, add a dollop of sour cream on top, if desired.

Step 8

Serve hot with crusty bread or even traditional rye bread for an authentic experience. Enjoy!
