This soup has nothing to do with a borscht. Taste was ok but it's not a real Russian taste.
AWESOME!!!!

I was a bit of a skeptic looking at the recipe. But after making it...it won me over! I used my Russian husband as the test to see how good it was. He said it was a bit too fancy for Russian Borscht, but he loved every bite. Like on the show...not a drop left in any bowl. The presentation is beautiful. It will be perfect for a nice dinner gathering.
Fabulous!

Granted, I made a few changes. 1.I made the recipe vegetarian by substituting vegetable broth for the chicken stock. 2.I added about half of a large head of green cabbage when the broth was added. Borscht, in my opinion, NEEDS cabbage. 3.I only blended half of the borscht which left some chunks of beet, cabbage, carrot, and onion in the finished product. It gave the borscht a 'heartier' feel. I served this with a slice of cabbage pie. Dinner couldn't have been more perfect!

EASY TO FOLLOW BUT IT DID NOT TASTE LIKE REAL RUSSIAN HOMEMADE. I DID LEARN A NEW WAY AND ENJOYED IT VERY MUCH
Certainly NOT Ukrainian!

First, I use beef broth and chunks of beef in the soup. Secondly, the vegetables are never pureed. Thirdly, I use shredded red cabbage and a potato. At least he was correct in using an apple to prevent the beets from fading to pink.

I used this recipe because I was looking for something creative to do with fresh beets from a farmers market. It was delicious! I like this soup warm. Also, I didn't have any red wine vinegar so I used half regular white vinegar and half balsamic--it still turned out great!

This recipe is easy and delicious. Roasting the beets first gives them an added sweet and rich flavor. I'm sure that the self-appointed food police will be horrified, but I made it with golden beets and used apple cider vinegar instead of the red wine vinegar. It was beautiful, and with some goat cheese, crusty bread and a green salad, made a nice light spring lunch. Was it "authentic" borscht? No, but then again, I read the recipe first and saw it didn't have the requisite cabbage, but so what? Ask ten French cooks to make cassoulet and you'll get ten different recipes too. But then, you wouldn't be able to get your jollies acting all superior on a recipe forum if you didn't point out all the "inauthentic" recipes for the rest of us. Get a life and let the rest of us enjoy ourselves, golden beet borscht and all.
what to do with beets!

I've never had "official" borscht, but this soup was easy and absolutely delicious. I grow beets and this recipe will impress anyone, even those who think they don't like beets. I had no carrots because I don't like them so I replaced them with fennel. Thank you Tyler!.
Love It!!!!!

I have heard about Borscht for years but never had it. Like Sandy, I had no idea what it was supposed to taste like. I love it so much I keep it in the frig all the time now. It makes a great snack instead of something sweet.Thanks Tyler. Elizabeth - Farmingdale, Maine
Delicious!

Terrible. My cat wouldn't even eat it. If you like borscht, I guess it would be alright. Otherwise, don't bother.
A keeper!

This recipe was absolutely wonderful. I've made it twice in the last two weeks. I have to confess, I didn't roast the beets, I just added them with the carrots. Yum!

Presentation was really nice, but it had nothing to do with original Russian recipe. We never bake the beets, no do we puree the veggies, we do use cabbage and potatoes though. I have a lot of respect to the shef and I like the show, but the russian dishes on the show were soooo far from the real thing. Jane. Phoenix, AZ

I have rated this in middle for 2 reasons: 1) I tried this recipe, and it?s delicious! I really liked the soup. On the other hand? 2) This soup has nothing to do with Russian (or original Ukrainian) borscht. First there cabbage (as somebody else pointed it already) is a MUST have component; secondly ? none of the Russian soups are blended ever. As a general comment, I?d like to say that there is nothing wrong to develop new recipes based on original ones, but it wrong to call them by original names.
