Delicious Red Borscht with Chicken and Beets

A light chicken borscht that delights with its aroma, flavor, and healthfulness! In our part of the world, borscht is made in just about every home. But the traditional red borscht recipe insists on beef or a marrow bone — and somehow a lean option like chicken gets left out of the picture. I'll be honest: a chicken borscht has been my house's go-to for quite a while now. I make a point of cutting the chicken into small pieces so there's some in every bowl, as they say. It's a wonderful dish for anyone who enjoys lighter cooking.

    Step 6:

  • Pour water into a medium pot and set the chicken to cook. After about seven minutes, salt the water to taste. While the chicken cooks, prep the vegetables: wash, peel, and cut them. Dice the potatoes and onion; grate the beets and carrots on the coarse side; and shred the cabbage nicely. Add the potatoes to the chicken broth first, then the cabbage, then a sauté of beets, carrots, and onion with tomato paste (fry the onion to golden first, then add the other vegetables, fry, stir in the paste, and let it stew). In the finished borscht the potatoes should be soft while the cabbage still has a slight crunch. Last of all, add the bay leaves and crushed garlic.
