**Beef, Cabbage, and Beet Borscht: A Low-Fat, Nutrient-Rich Soup**

Borscht is a traditional Eastern European soup that is typically made with beets, cabbage, and beef. This low-fat version of borscht is packed with nutrients and flavor, and it is a great way to warm up on a cold day. The soup is made with lean beef, fresh vegetables, and a variety of herbs and spices. The beets give the soup a beautiful red color and a slightly sweet flavor. The cabbage adds a crunchy texture and a boost of vitamin C. The beef provides protein and iron. And the herbs and spices add depth of flavor. This soup is also a good source of fiber, potassium, and folate. In addition to the traditional beef borscht recipe, this article also includes recipes for two other variations of borscht: a vegetarian borscht and a white borscht. The vegetarian borscht is made with a variety of vegetables, including beets, cabbage, carrots, and potatoes. The white borscht is made with a sour cream base and is often served with boiled potatoes and hard-boiled eggs.

JEN'S BORSCHT WITH BEEF



Jen's Borscht With Beef image

This is how I like to make borscht for my family. It is very thick and satisfying on a cold winter night. Many people who are scared of beets enjoy my borscht because it has so many other flavors. For best flavor, top each bowl of borscht with a tablespoon of sour cream.
