    Grew up eating about 100 variations of this soup. This one is about as close to my mother's soup as is physically possible. The only thing I added was 2 cups more cabbage,4 slices instead of 1 of bacon for flavor,2 onions, 1 more carrot, and 1 quart of beef broth. It does take longer than identified to chop and prep all the vegetables. Great flavored soup!!!

    This makes a LOT of soup and it was all gone the first night... i had a really Russian guy over, he's been eating his grandmother's borshch for his whole life and though he says its not as good as hers (lol he gave it an A+... its worth the time, try it!

    This recipe was somewhat time consuming in prepping all the veggies and deboning/defatting the meat, but it was SO worth every minute. It was our first time tasting borshch, and we were amazed at the complexity of the flavors. Each ingredients lends it's own personality to the soup, but together it just explodes in your mouth! Don't opt out on the sour cream and scallions on top--it adds texture that you will miss if you try without. And, of course, it tastes so much better the next day...Highly recommend this recipe!

    Take your basic knowledge of soup and add a beet! This gives this a whole new taste. Thank you!
