Beef and Beet Borscht image

It was this soup that started my lifelong love of adding sour cream to things. The way the tangy, rich cream melts into the hot, beefy broth is a wonder to behold.

Time 4h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (1 inch thick) slice bone-in beef shank
3 quarts water
1 onion, chopped
1 cup chopped carrots
½ cup chopped celery
1 bay leaf
3 cups diced peeled beets
2 cups chopped cabbage
¼ cup white vinegar, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Cook beef shank in a large soup pot over high heat until browned, about 3 minutes per side; add water, onion, carrots, celery, and bay leaf to the pot, bring to a simmer and cook until meat is tender and falling off the bone, about 4 hours. Strain broth and discard solids.

This borscht is amazing! I've made it several times now and it's always a hit. The flavors are so rich and complex, and the beef is so tender. I love that it's a one-pot meal, too. It's so easy to make and clean up is a breeze.
