Borscht is a traditional Eastern European soup made with beets as a primary ingredient, resulting in a vibrant deep red color. It is hearty, flavorful, and perfect for a comforting meal.
Steps:
1. Peel and chop beets, carrots, onion, and garlic. In a large pot, sauté the vegetables in oil until softened.
2. Add tomato paste, potatoes, cabbage, bay leaf, and broth. Simmer until vegetables are cooked through.
3. Season with salt, pepper, and vinegar. Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream and fresh dill.
