Vegan Borscht image

I was initially grossed out at the idea of borscht years ago. But after I've learned to love beets, I decided to potchke around the kitchen and make my own as a mish-mash of various recipes, and have it be 100% vegetarian. Vegan, actually. Unlike most borscht recipes, this has no cabbage in it. It was mostly out of laziness and cheapness because I ended up with three large beets and didn't feel like buying anything else. But I love beets now, so it worked!

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 -3 large beets
1 small onion
1 large carrot
1 quart vegetable broth
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried dill
1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Steps:

  • Shred the beets, onion, and carrot in a food processor.
  • Bring the vegetable broth to a low boil, then add the oil, sugar, vinegar, bay leaves, and spices.
  • Add the shredded veggies, loosely cover, and let simmer for 40 minutes or until all or most of the broth has been absorbed.
  • Remove from the heat and let stand for 40-60 minutes. Serve warm or hot, I think it is pure awesomeness on a fresh Kossar's bialy.
  • Want to make the creamy variety? Use 2-3 cups of veggie broth or stock instead of the whole quart, and 1-2 cups of unsweetened soy, rice, or almond milk. About 4 cups of liquid are needed.
