Try Borsch - Famous Russian Beet Soup - they've been at it like forever!!
Borsch is the most famous and popular Russian soup. But no one calls it soup in Russia, it's 'Borsch'. The main ingredients are red beets, cabbage, potatoes and meat or chicken broths. Some people make 'vegetarian' borsch without any meat, only with vegetables.
Borsch recipe:
1lb - beef (or chicken)
3 - red beets
0.5lb - cabbage
1 - carrot
4 - potatoes
salt and pepper, to taste
Put beef into a large saucepan and cover with 3 liters cold water. Bring to a boil and reduce heat.
Remove the grease froth from the broth surface with a spoon. Cut cabbage, potatoes and carrot. Add chopped vegetables into the cooking pot. Cut red beets. When all vegetables are cooked add red beets at the very end.
Add salt and black pepper. Cook for 5 minutes.
Borsch is served with sour cream.
