Step 1

Cube meat into 1-2" pieces. Add to a large soup pot or Dutch oven along with soup bones and bay leaves. Cover with 10 cups of cold water and bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, cover and simmer on low heat for 45 minutes to an hour.

Step 2

While the meat is cooking, prepare your vegetables by dicing the onion, and chopping the carrots and celery. Next, slice (or shred) the cabbage, peel and cube the potatoes, and peel and julienne the beets.

Step 3

Remove the meat from the Dutch oven and strain the broth. Wipe or wash the pot then add the bacon. Fry the bacon over medium-high heat then remove from the pot. Sear the meat on all sides in the bacon grease.

Step 4

Add onions, carrots, celery, and chopped bacon to the pot. Sauté for a few minutes then season with salt and pepper. Add tomato paste and sauté for a few more minutes.

Step 5

Pour strained broth back into the pot. Mix to dissolve the tomato paste. Add potatoes, beets, and cabbage, then cover and simmer over low heat, for 30 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender.

Step 6

Add vinegar (or beet sour), chopped parsley, dill, and minced garlic. Mix to combine the soup ingredients. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes then taste to see if the seasoning needs to be adjusted. I added a teaspoon of sugar and ½ teaspoon citric acid.

Step 7

Serve the borscht topped with a dollop of sour cream and chopped dill. For those who like it spicy, I also add sliced jalapeños (optional).
