Yield Makes about 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 medium beets, scrubbed well
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
4 dried mushrooms, such as morels and porcini (about 1/2 ounce)
1/2 cup hot water
Mrs. Kostyra's Vegetable Stock
1/3 cup coarsely chopped celery leaves
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon sugar
Freshly squeezed lemon juice or citric acid
Sour cream, for serving
Coarsely chopped dill, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place beets on a piece of parchment paper-lined aluminum foil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Fold foil and parchment up to enclose beets. Place on a small baking sheet and bake until tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 1 hour. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Peel and coarsely grate; set aside.
  • Soak the mushrooms in the water for 30 minutes. Drain through a fine mesh sieve; reserving liquid. Coarsely chop mushrooms; set aside.
  • In a medium stockpot, combine the stock, beets, mushrooms, mushroom liquid, celery leaves, parsley, garlic, sugar, a large pinch of salt, and a large pinch of pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes.
  • Add enough lemon juice or citric acid until you've reached your desired flavor. Cook until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Refrigerate until cooled, up to overnight. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and garnish with dill.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I used a vegan sour cream alternative, and it worked beautifully. This borscht is truly versatile!

Perfect balance of flavors! The sweetness of the beets, sourness of the tomatoes, and creaminess of the sour cream all come together beautifully.
