It's not as my momma made, but it's one of the closest I can find...
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

My family emigrated from Russia in the early 1900s to escape oppression from the upsurgent Socialist factors. When they... settled in rural Michigan and started a farm, my great-grandparents adapted their tried-and-true recipes to incorporate what they had on the farm, in order to feed their 7 living children. What resulted was a soup that I affectionately embrace as being as much a part of me as the faberge egg and the Kremlin. My family's recipe incorporates beef soup bones, cabbage, potatoes, beets (of course, as it's a beet soup), tomatoes, vinegar, and lots of dill. Nothing more than that and a lot of love. Most recipes I've found add lots of things like apples and parsnips and other things, but I don't think all that is needed. Stick to the bare-bones basis of this soup and there is nothing better or more comforting. Borscht is home to me.Read more
