Description:
Time: 40 min (10 min to prepare, 30 min to cook)
Meal type: Soup
Ethnicity: Eastern European
Number of Servings: 2
Ingredients:
1 each X number of beets
1 each 1/2 X onions
1 each 1/4 X carrots
1 each red or green cabbage
1 each beet greens
1 each cider vinegar or brown rice vinegar
1 each salt, if desired
Directions:
*Slice the vegies, put them into a soup pot and fill with water to about 1 1/2 to 2 inches above the vegetables.
*Add salt to taste.
*Bring to a boil, then reduce heat.
*Simmer as long as possible over the lowest heat possible.
*When the vegetables are soft, mash them with a potato masher (do not put into a blender or food processor; the idea is to have a coarse soup, not a cream soup).
Add vinegar to taste.
*Continue to simmer; you want all the flavors to marry.
*Serve with a kasha dish and pumpernickel or Russian black bread.
*A great cold-weather meal; this is the best borsch recipe this side of Odessa!
