Beef Borscht

  • Level: Easy
Many countries, including Ukraine, Russia, Poland and Lithuania, claim borscht as their own. Though beets are non-negotiable, the other ingredients vary from region to region and cook to cook. While some versions are made with water, others feature homemade slow-simmer stock. This recipe uses prepared stock, as well as cooked beets and shredded cooked beef, as shortcuts, so the soup can be prepped in about 45 minutes.
