Time 1h15m

Yield 20 cups, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup carrot, peel and dice
1 cup celery, use both greens and stalks, chop fine
2 cups beets, peel and dice
1 cup green cabbage, shred
2 onions, remove outer skin and chop fine
2 tablespoons dill, chop fine
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 bay leaves
6 cups water
2 cups tomato juice or 2 cups tomato sauce
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon oil
1 teaspoon pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons sour cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Grate the carrots, beets, celery and cabbage on a medium size grater. I use the attachment on my Kitchenaid as this reduces the chopping time tremendously.
  • Dice the onion, and together with the shredded cabbage, fry in a bit of oil until the onions are light in colour.
  • Add the beets to the water; bring to a boil, then simmer on low for 30 minutes. To keep the colour in your beets, add the tablespoon of lemon juice.
  • Add the rest of the vegetables and once again, bring to a boil. Turn down your heat to simmer. Add 2 or 3 tablespoons of the fresh dill.
  • Add the tomato juice. I very often use tomato sauce but I have also used undiluted tomato soup at times.
  • Dissolve the corn starch in 1/4 cup of water and add this to the simmering borsch. It'll thicken the soup.
  • Taste and adjust with salt & pepper. Lately I have been leaving out the salt as the tomato juice or sauce already contains a fair amount.
  • Just before serving, add a dollop of sour cream. Enjoy!
