Tips & Notes

  • Special Touch

    Scoop some sour cream on top of the borscht. Using a knife, swirl the sour cream to create your own special design.

  • Time Saver

    Substitute 2 cups canned beets (about one 15-ounce can) for the cooked beets and use packaged shredded cabbage (about 3/4 pound).
