Ukrainian pork borscht: Hearty beet soup with cabbage, potatoes, and garlic for a comforting Eastern European meal.
Ingredients:
  • 1 (16 ounce) package pork sausage
  • 3 medium beets, peeled and shredded
  • 3 carrots, peeled and shredded
  • 3 medium baking potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 0.5 medium head cabbage, cored and shredded
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
  • 8.75 cups water, divided, or as needed
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar, or to taste
  • 0.5 cup sour cream, for topping
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
  • Prep all your ingredients.
  • Place crumbled sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute until fully cooked and no longer pink. Set aside.
  • Fill a large pot halfway with water (about 8 cups) and bring to a boil until bubbles form vigorously.
  • Place the sausage into the pot and cover. Bring to a boil again. Add beets and simmer for 10 minutes. Introduce carrots and potatoes to the pot and cook until potatoes are tender, for around 10 more minutes. Mix in cabbage and tomatoes.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, warm oil. Cook onion until tender. Add tomato paste and the remaining 3/4 cup of water, stirring until well combined; transfer to the pot.
  • Stir in garlic and cover the soup to infuse flavors. Allow to sit for 5 minutes off the heat. Finish by adding sugar and seasoning generously with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the delicious soup in bowls, top with a dollop of tangy sour cream, sprinkle with fresh dill, and savor the culinary experience!
