Steps:
- Measure the broth into a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave it for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Chop the potato into a small (¼ inch) dice. Add it to the pot. Increase the heat to medium-high. Stir and then cover the pot.

- Chop the onion. Add it to the pot. Stir and cover.
- When the broth is done heating, add it to the pot along with the salt and pepper.

- Put a colander over a bowl and pour in the cans of beets. You need the liquid so do not discard it.

QUICK BORSCHT
This recipe is my adaptation of the author's mother's recipe for a quick vegetarian borscht from "Please to the Table". The recipe can be made vegetarian by using all vegetable broth instead of the combination of beef and vegetable broths that I use, and if you go a little further and use all vegetable oil, instead of butter and oil, it should be vegan. It's currently a favorite of mine, and I'm putting it here for safekeeping. It does come together pretty quickly, especially compared to more traditional recipes for borscht, which can be quite time consuming. According to your texture preferences, you may either peel the vegetables or not; you may also use a mixture of sweet and hot paprika. I usually serve the soup with a dollop of either light sour cream or plain lowfat greek yogurt.

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the bacon in a Dutch oven or stockpot and cook, stirring, over medium-high heat until the fat begins to render, about 3 minutes. Add the beef and cook, stirring, until brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the meat from the pan with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- To the fat in the pan, add the onions and carrots, and stir to coat. Cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic, oregano, dill seeds, and bay leaves and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.

- Ladle borscht into bowls and garnish with a dollop of sour cream and pinch of fresh dill.
