I grew up on this soup and it is divine. It may not be authentic, but the taste is fabulous and the color is exceptional

"So yummy! I was suspicious that the spice was too little, but I followed the recipe anyway. It doesn't need a thing." - AntarcticCat

Original recipe makes 4
1/2 lbGround beef
1 cupOnion; chopped
1 cupTomato sauce
1 tablespoonSugar
1/4 teaspoonGarlic powder
1/2 Bay leaf
1 teaspoonSalt
1/4 teaspoonBasil
1/4 teaspoonPaprika
1/4 teaspoonBlack pepper
1/2 mediumcabbage; shredded
2 cupsBeets; chopped
1/4 cupLemon juice

Borscht Preparation

Brown ground beef. In the meantime, mix all the spices, salt and sugar together in a cup. When meat has browned, add spice mixture and stir. Let the spices open up. Add the rest of the ingredients along with enough water so that there are still vegetables above the water line. Cook until the beets are tender, about 45 minutes. If you cook it too long, the beautiful color will start to dull.
