UKRAINIAN RED BORSCHT SOUP
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.

Steps:
- Crumble the sausage (if using) into a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until no longer pink. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Fill a large pot halfway with water(about 2 quarts), and bring to a boil. Add the sausage, and cover the pot. Return to a boil. Add the beets, and cook until they have lost their color. Add the carrots and potatoes, and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Add the cabbage, and the can of diced tomatoes.
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, and cook until tender. Stir in the tomato paste and water until well blended. Transfer to the pot. Add the raw garlic to the soup, cover and turn off the heat. Let stand for 5 minutes. Taste, and season with salt, pepper and sugar.
- Ladle into serving bowls, and garnish with sour cream, if desired, and fresh parsley.

SPICY SAUSAGE BORSCHT
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....
