UNCLE BILL'S RUSSIAN/DOUKHOBOUR BORSCHT
This RUSSIAN/DOUKHOBOUR BORSCHT originated with my Russian Grandmother who was a vegetarian. Traditionally, the Russian/Doukhobours used about 1 pound of butter and at least 3 cups of whipping cream. I finally was able to make numerous adjustments to the ingredients and then reduce the amount of butter and whipping cream so that the Borscht tastes just as good, but not as rich. The procedure is rather lengthy, but is worth every bit of that time. The Borscht may be canned or frozen in containers. The original Russian Borscht had meat in it and also they used many red beets.

DOUKHOBOR WINTER BORSCH
This is a wonderful hearty, vegetarian soup. It is quite labor intensive but so worth it. Serve with a rustic rye bread, good quality cheese and pickles for a truly authentic Doukhobor meal.

Steps:
- 1. Saute onions in 1/4 pound butter until translucent, add cabbage and saute until soft but not brown. Put carrots in pan and saute until soft. Make sure none of the vegetables get brown.
- 2. In a large stock pot, put in 1/2 of a pound of butter to melt. Once melted, put in canned tomatoes and saute until most of the tomato liquid is gone. Add in the sauteed vegetable mixture and vegetable stock. Add the bay leaves. Add in the raw beet. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer gently until the beet is soft.
- 3. Once the beet is soft, remove from pot and let cool to touch. In the meantime, peel and dice potatoes. Put half of the potatoes in the soup and cook until soft. Bring the other half of the potatoes to a boil in another pot and cook until quite soft. Drain and mash with remaining butter, 1 cup cream, salt and pepper. Add to soup pot
- 4. Peel the beet and coarsely shred, add to soup pot along with the fresh spinach, green bell peppers and remaining cream. Bring to a simmer for 1/2 hour. Add the fresh dill and adjust seasoning to taste. Serve in big bowls with a dollop of sour cream on top for garnish.
