Baba’s Borscht (Beet Soup)
It is the time of year to harvest (or go to the local farmer’s market). Nothing better than delicious and nutritious soup to warm your children’s little sweet souls. Be a baba, the measurement of ingredients is a guideline. Add more, toss in, use up to your hearts content. If you would like to add some meat, go ahead and toss in soup bones, short ribs, chopped bacon…
- 8 cups broth or water
- 2 cups beets with some tops (cut beets into thin strips or smaller cubes)
- 1 cup chopped cabbage
- 1 medium potato cut into cubes
- 1/2 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup beans (fresh or frozen)
- 1 onion chopped
- 3 ounces dill (fresh is the best)
- Salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 1 10oz can of tomato soup
Place in big soup stock pot and bring to boil, turn down heat and simmer slowly until vegetables are soft.
To serve, place a dollop of sour cream on the hot Borscht soup. Enjoy!
