This borscht is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I often add whatever I have on hand, such as carrots, celery, or potatoes. It's a great way to clean out the fridge and create a delicious and nutritious meal.

I love the versatility of this recipe. You can easily adjust the ingredients to suit your own taste preferences. For example, if you like a spicier soup, you can add more paprika or chili powder.

This recipe is a great starting point for making borscht, but I like to add my own personal touches. I often add a bit of horseradish or a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra flavor.

Not a fan of beets, but this borscht changed my mind. The sweetness of the beets was perfectly balanced by the other ingredients, and the soup was incredibly flavorful and satisfying. Definitely a new favorite!

This borscht is a delightful symphony of flavors! The sweetness of the beets, the tanginess of the tomatoes, and the heartiness of the beef broth come together perfectly. I especially love the addition of the dill and sour cream, which give the dish
