Here is the recipe I use: https://natashaskitchen.com/borscht-recipe-with-meat/
I use canned petite diced tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes cause I hate cutting tomatoes due to sensory issues.
It is fantastic with sour cream and crusty bread. You can also make it vegetarian (just use veggie broth instead of water, this also saves 45 mins of cooking time).

Not sure I follow the logic here.
It takes 45 mins to boil the meat to make meat broth for the soup. So if you use veggie broth instead of water (and obviously no meat), you can save the 45 mins it takes to boil the meat and go directly to step 2, which is sautéing the beets and other veggies, then adding them to the broth. Hope this makes sense!
Ah, I see. The way it's worded makes it sound like the water/broth swap is the key to making it vegetarian.
It should probably say "instead of meat".
Meat water aka beef or chicken broth.
I love this food so much! Took me decades to actually try it and now I could live off of this delicious soup!
I grew up on it, so it’s the taste of childhood for me. I could also live off this soup!
I only just had it for the first time in October, instantly a fan. I don't get it, I hate beets but this is so delicious
Oh, important note: your urine and stool may turn pink or red after eating this, just fyi. And if it does, you might have an iron deficiency, so get that checked out.
Too many damn java-scripts for me to handle on that site, but I'd be curious to know how much sugar is involved in classic (but modern) borscht.
I understand that it's classically beet-based (which is a hugely-underrated veggie), but the Manischewitz version I tried last year from a bottle was completely inedible due to how much bullshit refined sugar (sorry for my language) had been needlessly added.
I mean, beets already contain plenty of sweetness, or...?
In this recipe, 1 tablespoon of sugar is added to beets along with some vinegar and tomato paste. This makes them sweeter, but not super sweet. No other sugar is added.
Thanks. That's like... ~55kcals, I think, a lot less than Manischewitz seemed to be adding.
Gonna try to make borscht by hand, next time. Yours looks super-yummy, so I'll try to follow this approach.
