    Swap the cabbage for stems and leaves of the beetroot. You'll never go back to cabbage.

    I have Russian background and really enjoyed this.

    I replaced the cabbage with sauerkraut and omitted the vinegar. That's what my mum does.

    Very healthy and so easy to make.

    My non Russian partner wasn't keen but my toddler enjoyed it.

    I steamed my beetroot beforehand in small pieces. I would probably cook the soup a little longer next time.

    Superb flavour. Should have looked at previous comments as the beetroot was still raw. So I would cook longer in the section with the beets, cabbage and carrot. Lovely, lovely flavour made with the ingredients specified. Thank you, this is a repeat soup.

    Are you supposed to blitz it up or leave it a bit chunky?

    What a beautiful soup. My husband who has been brought up the traditional Borsche said that it is one of the better ones he has had... Yum yum yum!!

    I cook it all the time - absolutely love it. The only thing I do differently is instead of adding vinegar which is apparently an absolute no-no in traditional cooking of this soup (according to my babushka -grandma in Russian) I add a grated green apple at the end ( which can be grated and put aside prior to starting this recipe).

    I didn't have the right amounts of many of the veggies but I just substituted with others & it went really well. Green beans instead of cannellini, extra carrot instead of cabbage & I didn't have any potato. The beets turn everything a lovely red colour so it looked fantastic. Mine took much longer to cook than the time listed. Maybe because my beets were straight from the garden? Instead of the 200g of tomatoes I added 200g of a tomato soup base (onions tomato vinegar honey) that I had in the freezer. The soup tasted even better the next day. Thanks for the recipe. I'll make this again!

    Made this for my husband who is of Russian heritage.  He loved it and said it was just like his mother used to make.  He had 2 bowls for dinner and another serving for breakfast.
