Traditional Borscht

TRADITIONAL BEEF BEET BORSCHT-1
TRADITIONAL BEEF BEET BORSCHT-2

Borscht is a classic eastern European soup made with beets, beef, and cabbage. It is deeply nourishing and very flavorful. I like to add plenty of fresh dill before serving to liven the flavors even more! Using a high-quality beef bone broth is essential for this recipe! Try my homemade Nourishing Beef Bone Broth recipe or Kettle and Fire's Beef Bone Broth.

Really easy and good recipe. My girls of 3 and 7 loved it. The soup brings back childhood memories for me (I'm from Estonia).

That was absolutely delicious! We all loved it (adults, teen, and tween). The beef was very tender, and the herbs were just perfect.

I have made borscht many times before and this recipe is a fantastic version. In lieu of sour cream, I just added a dash of apple cider vinegar.
