Borscht Jello Mold Easy Recipes

EASY HOMEMADE BORSCHT RECIPE

Steps:

• Measure the broth into a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave it for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
• Chop the potato into a small (¼ inch) dice. Add it to the pot. Increase the heat to medium-high. Stir and then cover the pot.
• Roughly chop the carrot matchsticks. Add them to the pot. Stir and cover.
• Chop the onion. Add it to the pot. Stir and cover.
• When the broth is done heating, add it to the pot along with the salt and pepper.
• Increase heat to high, cover and let it come to a simmer. Reduce heat to a moderate simmer.
• While the broth is simmering in the pot, put the frozen peas and beans in the microwave-safe bowl and heat until defrosted and warm, about 2 minutes.
• While the peas and beans heat, chop the dill. Add half of it to the pot of soup. Put the rest aside for now.
• Put a colander over a bowl and pour in the cans of beets. You need the liquid so do not discard it.
• Put the drained beets into a food processor and process until they're in small pieces.
• When the potatoes in the pot are tender add the vinegar, the beets, and the beet liquid and the heated peas and beans. Heat on high until simmering.
• Stir in the remaining dill. Taste and add more vinegar and black pepper as needed.
• Serve with either whipping cream or sour cream on the side for people to add to their bowls of soup.
