- Turn off the heat.
- This step is entirely to the individual taste (you may add any of the ingredients as you see fit):.
- Add lemon juice and Mrs. Dash. Stir well.
- Add sugar and Salt to taste. Instead of sugar I sometimes use Splenda about 3 little bags. The soup should have a hint of sweet and sour flavor.
- If the soup is too thick add more boiling water or stock.
- Optional:.
- I like to add about ½ teaspoon of hot sauce or Tabasco and ½ of tablespoon of ground cumin. This adds a lot of flavor.
- The soup actually tastes even better when reheated the next day.

RUSSIAN BORSCHT
I immigrated to the United States from western Russia in 1998. When I made friends, I found that many people had heard of Borscht, a traditional soup made with fresh beets, but few knew how to cook it. So I prepared this recipe from my grandmother, and everyone seemed to like it.-Svetlana Chriscaden, Falconer, New York
