I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my borscht turned out bland and watery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This borscht is a bit too sour for my taste, but I think I can fix that by adding a little more sugar. Otherwise, it's a great recipe and I'm really enjoying it.

This recipe is a great starting point for making borscht, but I made a few changes to suit my taste. I added more vegetables and used a different type of sausage. The results were delicious!

This borscht is just okay. The broth is a little too sour for my taste and the vegetables are not very flavorful. I probably won't make this again.

I tried this recipe and it was a disaster. The broth was bland and the vegetables were overcooked. I would not recommend this recipe.
