Supplies needed to make a beet soup
1 (1 inch thick) slice bone-in beef shank ( ribs will work too)
vegetable flavor bouillon cubes
beet root 2 big ones
( around 3 cups )4 quartz of water
1 cup of sliced or grated carrots
1/2 cup of thin chopped celery
2 bay leaves
1/4 cup of white vinegar ( could also use apple cider vinegar)
salt and paper to your taste
3 big potatoes sour cream or heavy cream
1/4 chopped dill and for garnish
There are different ways to prepare the beets for this Polish beet soup:
Polish RED Borsch variations
Borsch may include meat but it can be alsovegan/vegetarian. And it’s served either hot or cold with a spoon of sour cream that we call SMETANA
Other versions of this soup usually include more vegetables, such as onions, potatoes, cabbage, carrots and tomatoes But this Polish version is usually eaten with boiled potatoes, where you separately cook the potatoes and slice them, and then put them at the bottom of your soup bowl, pouring the soup over them.
Start to boil 4 quartz of water with bone in shank of beef or ribs. (if you like to make a meatless soup it is ok too)
Peel your beet roots and boil as whole together with meat until tender not too soft. Time of cooking beats depends on your root size.
Remove your semi soft beets from water let them cool and Grate them
add your grated carrots, celery , bay leave, salt and paper
return shredded beets to your pot
2 cubes of vegetable bouillon
add peeled potatoes cut into small cubes and cook till they are soft ( optional add them cooked right before serving soup)
add vinegar and just boil water
NOTE – You can replace vinegar with pickled beets juice
Cook for 2O min and soup is done
How to get that vibrant red color?
Polish soups are usuallychunky,so pieces of cooked vegetables are always enjoyed in the soups, except for some modern Polish recipes where vegetables are actually blended and pureed. But a Polish soup is always chunky and so is this beet soup
To avoid getting a pale borsch soup. Cooking the beets in water or stock for long may result in a brown soup, and since a good borsch needs to be red just add a little bit of sugar and lemon juice at the end of the cooking process and mix everything with a spoon.
Or, addwhite vinegarto the beets at the end of the cooking process and that should help preserve the vibrant red color.
Red Borscht
As I mentioned before you can mix heavy cream into your bowl just to soften a taste a bit of teaspoon of sour cream
