Beef and Beet Borscht image

It was this soup that started my lifelong love of adding sour cream to things. The way the tangy, rich cream melts into the hot, beefy broth is a wonder to behold.

BEEF BORSCHT WITH SOUR CREAM



Beef Borscht With Sour Cream image

I received this from my mother-in-law and she got it from her mother. This is so good. It's a bit involved, so I only make it once a year but it's easy to split up and freeze. It does require to be chilled overnight. This would also work well in a crock pot. Posted for Zaar World Tour 05

1/2 pound bacon, diced
1 pound lean beef chuck, cut into bite-size pieces
1 cup chopped yellow onions
1 carrot, peeled and grated
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons dried oregano

KYERA'S HEARTY BEEF BORSCHT



Kyera's Hearty Beef Borscht image

My friend's mom used to make 'garden' soup every Sunday. She would go through her fridge and any unused veggies would be thrown into the soup pot. This is my version; hearty, thick, and chock full of veggies. It is important to add the diced beets at the end to keep the color appealing. My daughter goes crazy for this soup; it is very tasty and filling, best served warm.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

6 cups water
¾ tablespoon salt
½ cup finely chopped carrots
¼ cup chopped green bell pepper, divided
½ stalk celery, chopped
1 medium beet
½ cup canned peeled and diced tomatoes
3 potatoes, quartered
⅓ cup butter
½ cup chopped onion
1 ½ cups canned tomatoes
3 cups finely shredded cabbage, divided
¼ cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Place water, salt, carrots, 1/2 of the bell pepper, celery, beet, tomatoes, and quartered potatoes in a large stock pot over high heat. Bring to a boil.
  • Melt 1/3 cup butter in a separate skillet over medium heat. Saute onions in butter until tender, approximately 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, reduce heat to medium low, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove 1/2 cup of sauce from skillet, and set aside. Stir half of the cabbage into the skillet with remaining sauce, and continue simmering 5 minutes more, or until tender.
