    Now for the mushrooms. Rinse them well, soak them briefly in water, then rinse again. Put the mushrooms in a pot, cover with water, bring to a boil over medium heat, and skim off the foam. Add the carrot matchsticks and the parsley root. Once the mushrooms are fully cooked, add the sautéed onion, bring everything back to a boil, and cook for 10 minutes.

Now pour in the beet kvass mixed with the sugar, salt to taste, and cook until done.

    I loved this recipe. I recently told my friends how to make vegetarian borscht with beans and mushrooms, and they've already made it and thanked me. It really is delicious!

  • One more small but important note: the sour cream that goes into each bowl of borscht should be stirred together well with the raw egg yolks. Add chopped fresh herbs to the bowl, too. I hope it turns out great and that you can feed your whole family to their hearts' content!
