Mom's Borscht image

This is a recipe my mother acquired from a friend long, long ago. Over the years, she altered the recipe, combining elements from various ethnic styles of borscht. I love this soup in the winter, as it's so hearty and comforting and simple to make. We always eat this as a meal, so 10-12 servings may be an underestimate. It makes a LOT! Also freezes well.

Time 1h30m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
3 cups chopped onions
1 1/2 cups shredded carrots
6 cups shredded beets
3 cups shredded cabbage
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes (I often use a hand mixer on a can of whole tomatoes)
9 cups beef broth
5 tablespoons white vinegar (add or subtract to taste)
salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon fresh dill (or 1 tsp dried)

Steps:

  • Brown ground beef in a medium frying pan or dutch oven. When beef is half-browned, add onions and cook until remainder of beef is browned.
  • Add remaining ingredients to dutch oven, then add beef/onion mixture.
  • Bring to a boil, then simmer for 30-60 minutes, until vegetables are tender.
