Ingredients
- 3 medium beets
- 2 medium carrots
- 3 medium red-skinned potatoes
- 1 medium onion diced
- 3 talks celery diced
- 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 8 cups vegetable stock
- 2 cups shredded red cabbage
- 2 cups chopped beet greens or chard
- 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 2 Tablespoons white vinegar
- 2 teaspoons fine sea salt or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste
- 1/4 cup sour cream vegan or regular (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by prepping your vegetables. Peel the beets. Scrub the carrots and potatoes. Dice everything up. It’s best if the beets are a slightly smaller dice than the rest as they take a little longer to cook (you could also shred them in a food processor).
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery and sauté for 5 minutes or until slightly softened. Add the diced carrots and cook for an additional minute or two.
- Tumble in the beets and the potatoes. Pour in the vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until root vegetables are al dente.
- Tip in the cabbage and beet greens. Bring soup back up to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes. Vegetables should be tender.
- Sprinkle in the dill and the vinegar. Season the borscht to taste with salt and pepper.
- Ladle borscht into bowls and serve with a dollop of vegan or regular sour cream.

Notes
- Cool completely before refrigerating the leftovers in airtight containers. Borscht will keep for up to five days in the fridge and up to six months in the freezer.
