AUTHENTIC RUSSIAN/UKRAINIAN BORSCHT
This is the real way to make Borscht. No canned veggies, no messing around. Just real hearty Borscht, the way my mother makes it. Good ingredients are key, especially the meat, which should be fresh and thick. Once you've had this Borscht, you will not be able to eat any other. For the non-kosher, try it au-natural, or with a nice spoonful of sour cream mixed in (please, not low fat, enjoy this!).

Steps:
- To a large pot (I use 8qts), add the meat and enough water to fill up the pot to halfway.
- Remove all froth that comes up from the meat.
- Continue to boil on med-high until no more froth comes up.
- Reduce heat to low and add consomme mix, whole onion, dill, beats, cabbage, and tomato sauce.
- Fill with water, cover partially with lid, and let cook for 90min.
- After that hour and a half of cooking, make sure meat is soft - then add the carrots, and squeeze all the juice you can possible juice from the lemons into the soup.
- You can add the rice and/or potatoes at this point, if you like.
- Cook, partially covered, for another 30-45 minutes, until making sure the potatoes and carrots are tender, and the rice (if you put any in) is ready.
- The soup is great on day 1, but tastes much better on days 2-3.
- Enjoy the soup while it's very hot.
REAL RUSSIAN-UKRAINIAN BORSCHT: CLASSIC RECIPE

Steps:
- A good start to any soup is the meat. In this case we are using a good piece of chuck ON the bone. The bones give the borscht a ton of flavor and I actually like to get some bones without any meat on it. Hubs loves the marrow ???? Your butcher will have some for you if you just ask.
- You want to cut it up into slightly larger than bite size pieces. And place it into a heavy bottomed large pot.
- Cover the meat with cold water and brink up to a boil. Leave about 4 cups of room at the top.
- While your meat is coming up to a boil, get your veggies ready. Peel your carrots, onions and beets.
- Now at this point you have 2 choices. You can shred all the veggies (except the potatoes and cabbage) in a food processor or hand shredder.
- Or you can do what I do...and use the wet chop on the Vitamix. Just throw your veggies in the vitamix... cover with water and pulse, pulse, pulse. For me, this is the go to method because it is a lot quicker and gives the soup a ton of texture.
- Set aside. Cut up your potatoes slightly larger than bite size. Otherwise they will fall apart in the soup. I also really like to use Yukon Gold potatoes. I love how soft they get and they remind me of the potatoes we used to use back in the old country.
- Now, if we pay attention to our soup, you will notice all the scum has come on top. DO NOT LET THIS BOIL. Otherwise the scum will just spread throughout the soup. You want to carefully remove it with a slotted spoon. Your other option is to to strain it like I do with my chicken soup. Strain the soup and then start fresh with clean meat, bones and water. It does take a bit longer, but if you are anal like me and like a super clean soup...it may be a better option.
- Once you have a clean soup, (regardless of which method you use). Here is the reason why you left some room at the top. You are going to pour in your entire Vitamix of veggies WITH the water into the soup along with the potatoes.
- Add in your tomato puree as well.
- Add in a nice helping of red pepper flakes. Hubs and I like it with a kick ???? Add in salt, pepper, sugar and the juice of half a lemon. Allow to simmer for 15 minutes.
- In the meantime slice up your cabbage. First you cut the head of cabbage in half. And remove the core.
- Then you slice it thinly with a nice sharp knife. Again feel free to do this in a food processor. I do not however like the texture it gets if you do it in a Vitamix.
- Add it into your soup. Also, add in 3 tablespoons of chopped dill and the garlic. Allow to simmer for about 15 more minutes.
- Once the cabbage is nice and soft, taste the soup for flavor. We like it sweet and a bit sour. So feel free to add in more lemon juice, pepper, sugar, salt, whatever your heart desires.
- This soup actually tastes better the very next day. If you decide to serve it the next day, you can also remove any extra fat that has solidified on the top after being refrigerated.
- Serve with a nice dollop of sour cream, nice sourdough bread and as my hubs prefers, with a sweet red onion on the side ????

Steps:
- Grate the carrots, beets, celery and cabbage on a medium size grater. I use the attachment on my Kitchenaid as this reduces the chopping time tremendously.
- Dice the onion, and together with the shredded cabbage, fry in a bit of oil until the onions are light in colour.
- Add the beets to the water; bring to a boil, then simmer on low for 30 minutes. To keep the colour in your beets, add the tablespoon of lemon juice.
- Add the rest of the vegetables and once again, bring to a boil. Turn down your heat to simmer. Add 2 or 3 tablespoons of the fresh dill.
- Add the tomato juice. I very often use tomato sauce but I have also used undiluted tomato soup at times.
- Dissolve the corn starch in 1/4 cup of water and add this to the simmering borsch. It'll thicken the soup.
- Taste and adjust with salt & pepper. Lately I have been leaving out the salt as the tomato juice or sauce already contains a fair amount.
- Just before serving, add a dollop of sour cream. Enjoy!
RUSSIAN BORSCHT
I immigrated to the United States from western Russia in 1998. When I made friends, I found that many people had heard of Borscht, a traditional soup made with fresh beets, but few knew how to cook it. So I prepared this recipe from my grandmother, and everyone seemed to like it.-Svetlana Chriscaden, Falconer, New York

UKRAINIAN BORSCHT
This borscht is very healthy. Preparation and cooking time is quite long, however, you will not be disappointed. You will note that I cook most of the vegetables separately as each vegetable takes different times to cook, therefore, you do not have mushy soup. This is my Mothers recipe, however, I have improved on it and my Mother likes my recipe better. It is of Ukrainian origin,

UKRAINIAN BORSCHT
This is a meatless (not vegetarian) Borscht, and even my husband, who MUST have meat with every meal, loves this! Sometimes we make it in summer and serve it cold. It's very tasty! It came from a cookbook many years ago, but I can't remember which one. And I've changed it over the years and I do my own thing, there is no need to measure any of the veggies, it always turns out wonderful. So eyeball it! (Your food processor will come in mighty handy for shredding all these veggies!) Enjoy!
