This recipe was given to me years ago by a lady that I worked with. Before tasting her Borscht, I had never heard of/tasted borscht before. I fell in love with this tasty soup, as did my family. I make sure that I always have a supply in my freezer. So easy to make a freezes well!!

How To Make borscht

Step 1

Shred, chop, mince, dice all your vegetables. Place in a very large bowl and mix well.

Step 2

Use a large non-stick skillet and saute veg a bit at a time until tender crisp. Place each batch into a large stock-pot.(add a bit of oil if you find the veg is sticking a bit)
Step 3

Once you have your vegetables sauteed and placed into stock pot, add the 8 cups of water and beef bouillon. Simmer about 1 hour or till your vegetables are cooked.
Step 4

Add the salt, lemon juice, diced tomatoes, sugar, dill, parsley, bay leaf and paprika. Continue to simmer until the flavors are well blended. About 1 hour. Stir occasionaly.
Step 5

Here you can either feed a crowd! or place in freezer bags as it freezes well.
Step 6

This is a time consuming recipe but oh so worth it! And you'll thank yourself for freezing some when you need something quick for a meal. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family does!!
