Borscht Recipes

Beautiful ruby-red, low-calorie soup! It helps if you have a food processor to make this.

From SeriousEats.com "Dinner Tonight" feature, made vegan for my beet-loving vegan home.

Make this easy soup in a jiffy. Serves 1 for a meal or 2 for a side dish. *Note: This dish is already low calorie. Don't skimp on the oil; it adds to the creamy texture of the final dish.

Low in calories, but definitely great in taste and quite filling. I've left out the traditional potatoes for this one.

Traditionally, this recipe has potatoes but I replaced it with turnips which are much lower in calories or you can choose your favourite root vegatable instead. Low in saturated fat and a great source of calcium and fibre.

Delicious!

My boyfriend is Ukrainian and grew up in Kharkiv, where fresh foods and soups - especially Borscht - are staples. And his mom is an amazing cook!
I spent a month and a half in Ukraine and learned a few dishes from her that I am tweaking at home to reproduce the flavor.

Here is my Ukrainian Borscht recipe - it is boyfriend approved.

Serve topped with a dollup of sour cream for an authentic experience! Yum!

Grandpa learned this recipe from his mom. My Great Grandma was the daughter of a Rabbi who moved to CA, to marry my Great Grandpa who was an Irish Catholic. Her father embraced the marriage, while G.G.'s family disowned him.

The recipe takes 2 days two make if you fix it in the evening. One day if you cook and chill the beets in the early morning.

This was always a lovely addition to evening meals in the summer. Grandpa always served his with a big dollop of sour cream to be stirred in as you ate it. (I did not include the sour cream in the nutrition info.)

I know, a borscht isn't meant to be vegetarian but this one is. It has been passed down in my family for many many years, it started in Russia and I have made it my own.

Easy Beet Soup

I enjoy a good bowl of borshct in the fall when the weather starts to turn cooler. This soup is a deep, dark red that turns a neat pink colour when served with sour cream.

Classic russian soup, very nutritious and comforting. Goes great with whole wheat bread, sourcream and fresh garlic.

mmm borscht

This is my vegetarian version of hot beet borscht.

Zero fat borscht that is easy peasy to prepare! Added bonus of a little protein by pureeing kidney beans into the mix.

This recipe is super healthy!

For an extra zing, add a tablespoon of sour cream to each serving.
