Vegetable Borscht

The simplest first course made from everyday vegetables. You can dress up this vegetable borscht by adding sweet bell pepper and a little tomato — paste, juice, or fresh/frozen tomatoes — to the sauté as it cooks; that gives the finished soup a much richer flavor. Serve vegetable borscht hot with sour cream and, ideally, fresh herbs.

  • To make vegetable borscht, start with the sauté: peel the onion and carrot, cut them into cubes or strips, and cook until soft, then add the beets, peeled and cut like the other vegetables. Sauté everything together, then lower the heat and simmer, covered, until the beets soften. At the end, add a little vinegar to keep the beets' bright color. Peel and chop the potatoes, drop them into boiling water, and add finely shredded cabbage. Add salt and seasonings to taste (bay leaf, allspice, dried dill) and cook at a low simmer for 20–25 minutes after it returns to a boil. At the end of cooking, stir in the sauté. The vegetable borscht is ready! Serve it right away, or let it sit and develop until the next day.
