AUTHENTIC RUSSIAN/UKRAINIAN BORSCHT
This is the real way to make Borscht. No canned veggies, no messing around. Just real hearty Borscht, the way my mother makes it. Good ingredients are key, especially the meat, which should be fresh and thick. Once you've had this Borscht, you will not be able to eat any other. For the non-kosher, try it au-natural, or with a nice spoonful of sour cream mixed in (please, not low fat, enjoy this!).

Steps:
- To a large pot (I use 8qts), add the meat and enough water to fill up the pot to halfway.
- Remove all froth that comes up from the meat.
- Continue to boil on med-high until no more froth comes up.
- Reduce heat to low and add consomme mix, whole onion, dill, beats, cabbage, and tomato sauce.
- Fill with water, cover partially with lid, and let cook for 90min.
- After that hour and a half of cooking, make sure meat is soft - then add the carrots, and squeeze all the juice you can possible juice from the lemons into the soup.
- You can add the rice and/or potatoes at this point, if you like.
- Cook, partially covered, for another 30-45 minutes, until making sure the potatoes and carrots are tender, and the rice (if you put any in) is ready.
- The soup is great on day 1, but tastes much better on days 2-3.
- Enjoy the soup while it's very hot.

RUSSIAN BORSCHT
I immigrated to the United States from western Russia in 1998. When I made friends, I found that many people had heard of Borscht, a traditional soup made with fresh beets, but few knew how to cook it. So I prepared this recipe from my grandmother, and everyone seemed to like it.-Svetlana Chriscaden, Falconer, New York

TRADITIONAL RUSSIAN BORSCHT
Borscht is a soup that is very popular in many Eastern and Central European countries. It is made with beetroot, which gives it it's signature reddish-purple jewel color. Different countries have their own variations of borscht; Russian borscht is made with some type of beef or sausage. I am making mine with both; Using both meats gives the soup superb flavor. This is a true Russian classic.

GERMAN/RUSSIAN BORSCHT
This is my (German from Russia) grandma's recipe passed down to me by my mother (her daughter in law). My grandma was born in Russia in the early 1900s and came to America on a ship with a passport saying she was a boy!!! Anyway, the secret to this soup is in the fresh beets!!! Using the beet leaves and the juice from the cooked beets.

Steps:
- Add beets into a Dutch oven or large saucepan. Fill with water and add vinegar. Cook over medium heat until tender, this may take an hour or so. Check for doneness by poking a toothpick or fork into a beet. Remove beets and reserve juice. Peel and dice beets when they have cooled.
- For cooking the rest of the soup you may choose which method of cooking (baking, or slow cooking) that works best for you. Add remaining ingredients (EXCEPT beets, beet leaves, and cream) into a roaster pan to bake in oven, or large crock pot to slow cook.
- Simmer in a 250 degrees oven for 6-8 hours or low in a crock pot for 8-12 hours or until vegetables are tender.
- If the broth looks fatty, strain broth from vegetables, let cool, and skim off fat. Sometimes I may cook the vegetables the day before so that all the fat will separate and flavors blend.
- Add broth, vegetables, beets, and reserved beet juice into a large Dutch oven or stockpot. Bring to a boil.
- Add beet leaves, cook 5 minutes.
- Add cream, turn heat off. Salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
