Ukrainian Red Borscht Soup image

My friend's mother from Ukraine taught me this recipe for the classic beet soup. It's as authentic as it gets. It can be served vegetarian-style by omitting the sausage.

SPICY SAUSAGE BORSCHT



Spicy Sausage Borscht image

A friend traded me this recipe for my oxtail split-pea soup. I've got to say, for a quick and easy recipe (less than an hour to table), it really packs a wallop! The use of spicy sausage is key here, as well as the fennel seed, dill seed, and fresh dill, and using canned beets makes it *so* much less work than it would be otherwise. I think maybe I got the better part of the trade....
