- Today I'm sharing my grandma’s Ukrainian Borscht Recipe I grew up eating in Ukraine every single week. This iconic red beet soup is made with beef (or vegetarian), cabbage, potatoes, carrots, garlic and dill, and then served with a dollop of sour cream and rye bread.
⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ CLICK FOR RECIPE ⬇️⬇️⬇️
►INGREDIENTS:
12 cups water, beef or vegetable broth/stock
5 cups green or red cabbage thinly sliced
1 large onion chopped
3 medium carrots chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
3 large beets peeled and cut into matchsticks
4 large potatoes peeled and cubed
6 oz can tomato paste low sodium
2 tsp salt
3 bay leaves
1 tbsp white vinegar
Pinch of sugar or maple syrup
3 large garlic cloves grated
Ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup dill or parsley finely chopped
Yogurt sour cream and rye bread, for serving
🖨Printable recipe ifoodreal.com/ukrainian-borscht/
►DIRECTIONS:
1. In a large pot (I use 6 quart Dutch oven), add broth, bay leaves and bring to a boil. In the meanwhile, wash, peel and cut vegetables.
2. Once broth is boiling, add cabbage, cover and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat to low and cook for 20 minutes.
3. In the meanwhile, preheat large skillet on medium heat and swirl 1 tbsp of oil to coat. Add onion, carrots and saute for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Add beets, remaining 1 tbsp of oil and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
5. Transfer sauteed veggies to a pot along with potatoes, tomato paste and salt. Cover, bring to a boil and cook on low heat for 20 minutes.
6. Turn off heat. Add vinegar, sugar, garlic and pepper. Stir and let borscht sit for 10 minutes to allow flavours to marry each other. Add dill, stir and adjust any seasonings to taste.
7. Serve hot with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream, bread and garlic clove on the side (this is not for everyone).
Store and reheat: Refrigerate borscht in a large pot you cooked it in for up to 5 days. Reheat by simmering on low in small pot only amount you are planning to consume.
Freeze: Freeze in an airtight glass container for up to 3 months. Then thaw on a counter overnight and reheat.

#ifoodreal #borscht #ukrainian #soup - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Have you ever tried borscht before?
Yes! :)
Not yet but after this easy yummy recipe I will
I have, but not with meet - I'm going to try this recipe this weekend! YUM!
Yes many times but only in Ukraine back in the early 1990s. I was thinking I just have learn how to make it myself.
No “Tt” in Borshch
I made it! The recipe was clear and easy to follow and it tasted great! My family and I enjoyed it, along with the rubbed garlic and sour cream on bread--yum! We said a prayer for Ukraine and took a moment to honor your grandmother and her legacy which you shared with us. Thank you!
I’m so happy to hear you loved my grandma’s borscht! Thank you for sharing your kindness with the world.❤️
Thanks for your prayer and support, people of America!
Hi. I am just about to make this amazing looking Borsch for my beautiful mama and me.. I will definitely let you know how it turned out! ❤
My family is Ukrainian. I grew up eating borscht most every day. Borscht make you strong.
It’s great superfood!
I am so glad to have your recipe. My husband is from Ukraine and I'm American. I've been searching for an easier recipe!
Aw I hope you enjoy!
One of my favourite soup :)
One day I cooked 4 liter pot of Ukrainian borscht only for myself and I had it for a full week, everyday the same dish ;D
Anyway it looks delicious :)
Yep. That's how we Ukrainians operate haha. We cook a huge pot of soup and eat it for days. So healthy and convenient!
@@ifoodreal I'm american but my genes somewhat come from the area near ukraine, and I have a lot in common with slavic people it's funny.
I think I ate like for a whole week too. AND froze a lot of it and gave it to my family. The 12 cups doesn’t look like a lot until you throw in all the cabbage and potato’s. It’s soooo much food!
I'm of Ukrainian ancestry and my mom cooked all these things. I did not pay attention. But I made your recipe and it was amazing. Tha k you. I made enough to eat and then can 7.5 q
Aww I love that, so glad you enjoyed 😘
I tried this recently from an Ukrainian coworker and I decided to look it up. It was one of the best soups I’ve ever had. I like your recipe and I’ll make it soon!!
Thank you so much for sharing this comforting dish. Love hearing your memories too!
You are very welcome, Teresa. Hope you enjoy!
I looked up your recipe a couple of weeks ago and made this last week! I have never had anything like this so I thought that I wouldn't like it or that I would make it incorrectly. It is beautifully delicious and I truly love it! My family is picky, except for one of my children who tried it, so I ate most of it myself and for many days! I am making it again today for a group of ladies. I'm sure that they will enjoy it and appreciate that they are eating something authentic from a beautiful country that has all of our hearts right now.
🇺🇲 ❤ 🇺🇦
I am so happy to hear you loved my borscht recipe! And thank you for sharing and for your kind words. Hope your friends like it too!
Это не украинский борщ. Это щи русские. Абсолютно не правильная рецептура.
Slava Ukraini! I will be making this Borsch after work on Saturday!
Hope you like it!
This is awesome. We LOVE borscht too and can't get enough of it And this authentic Ukrainian way of making it the best. Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you so much for sharing your grandmother's borscht! I look forward to trying it out, even with the garlic bread!
Hope you like it! You should go all out, biting on a garlic clove too!:)
Thank you for sharing your Grandma's recipe, I am going to make this today!!
Hope you enjoyed it, Cindy!
Thank you very much❤ We had this last night and it was delicious
Everyone loved this recipe. Even my picky eater daughter.
Have a lovely day
My son LOVES borsch and we grew beets this year specifically to make it. This might be my favourite recipe yet and will be my go to from now on. Both kids (10 &8) had THIRD helpings 🤩. I made a double batch which filled my big stock pot and used chicken stock (from a concentrated paste) and kidney beans this time but I look forward to trying the different variations in the future. Now I have a happy full family and a freezer full of healthy meals. Thank you!
Omg I’ve made it at least 6 times over the past few months. We absolutely love it!
I am so happy to hear this!
Made my first ever borscht following this video - I was surprised how well it turned out! Just like the borscht I had in Ukraine, yum!
I made this because I wanted to have my own family recipe because my grandmothers recipe was lost. I added beef shank, oxtail and some pork belly to the beef stock. Anyway it came out soooo delicious. My Russian mother liked it and she said she hated borscht as a child. Apparently there’s some bad super sour borscht out there. But to each their own. lol Thank you for this recipe! I hope to pass it down to my own family one day!
Such a great video! I know how to make borcsht, but her sharing of her gramma's recipe so inspiring.
Thank you so much!
I just made Borscht tonight following your recipe. It was really good :) Now I have a big pot of it in my fridge :D
Nice! You are good for lunches for 5 days! Glad you enjoyed it!
I’ve been making this soup for years. I love this soup.
Yay so glad!!
Delicious borscht! Making my 2nd batch now, first one was last week lol! Perfect comfort food.
Absolutely perfect! my fiancé and his mum are from Ukraine and I wanted to make this for them, I wasn't confident, but your video was so brilliant and easy to follow, they said it was perfect! thank you so much for your video
I’m glad I found your long version of the short!🎉
Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you thank you thank you! I am of Polish decent and love beets. I'm sure I will make my own version of your beautiful recipe!
Thank you for watching! Let me know if you end up trying the recipe 😊
Just made this recipe, and I love it. It is different from all the other soups/stews I make and it will become a regular addition to my menus. Thank you for sharing it!
My pleasure.
Hello, you are an amazing storyteller !!!!))) thanks a lot !
Glad you enjoy it!
Very healthy and delicious, thanks
Thank you for watching 🥰
I made this tonight. Was easier than I thought it would be. It is very nice too. Very tasty. Recipe makes about 6 portions.
klasno! I was hoping to find real Ukrainian borsch like back when I visited. Thank you!
Thank you - enjoy!
This and pickle potatoe soup are now my TOP 2 favorite soups... Just made two giant pots of your recipe and it's unbearably good 😢 gonna take in some for my coworkers tomorrow!
Followed your recipe and now I don't need to stand in the kitchen for 6 days. Дякую! :D
Great job! Haha so true. Dinners for a week.
Great video, and it really looks like Ukrainian vegetarian borsch
New to your channel. I love the sheer joy you cook with. I don't generally like beets, but this soup looks so good that I have to try it. Thanks for the video.
Hope you enjoy!!!
That fresh herbs and garlic makes it more tasty and healthy….
I love the ingredients💚That is so great and easily available💚💚Wonderful days to you and Stay connected💚💚
Thank you! You too!
Awesome! We love your recipes. Lets figure out how to make it in the Instant Pot!
Thank you!!! I do have Instant Pot borscht recipe here ifoodreal.com/instant-pot-borscht/
I grew up liking my mom’s Russian borscht, and then my friend made me Ukrainian borscht and it was incredible. I didn’t know there were different kinds, so when I got back home and my mom made me thin, pink borscht with little flavor in it, I was super disappointed.
I’m excited to try this! It looks a lot closer to what my friend made!
Yum it looks so good
Thank you!
I have watched your vid a few times now, and I'm ready... I am absolutely making it this weekend (my shopping list is prepared), and I am absolutely eating it with a bite of garlic and some grainy bread with garlic and sour cream! I have been known to crunch down a clove of garlic when I feel like I'm getting a cold, so maybe I'm a little bit Ukraine in my ancestry! :D
I hope you enjoyed this borsch recipe! I do love to buy it on a garlic clove. It might sound odd but I think when combined with the right food it tastes so good!!!
It looks so delicious ♡
Thanks so much!
uff can't wait till tomorrow to cook it ♥️♥️ sending love from 🇬🇪 🇬🇪
Hope you enjoyed it! Thank you!
I'm making this either tomorrow or the next day. I might be the only one in my family to eat it, but I'll enjoy every bite.
I hope you enjoy! Good thing borscht lasts for days, so you can enjoy it every day without going bad.
Love it !!!!
Aw, thank you, Brian! Gonna make it?😉
@@ifoodreal absolutely !!!
Thanks for the sharing
You are so welcome, thank you for watching!
Thank you very much for this recepy✌😊tried it today and the borscht became very tasty. Forgot about the dill though. Thanks and slava Ukraine🇺🇦
Most welcome 😊 glad you liked it!
Thank you
Thanks!
You are welcome!
Thank You ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, !!!
Our pleasure!
When my grandparents were still alive, they used to make it including the beet tops - that's how I remember it. I have yet to find any recipe that includes the beet tops.
Easy peasy lemon squeezy 🙏🙏🙏😁
Eu gosto muito de comer BORSCHT
Your Content are all extremely Awesome tasty healthy and delicious
Thank you so much!!
@@ifoodreal hello there do you sell cook book? For my entire time searching here on YT i just finallly see your impressive extremely awesome delicious dish. I wish I can get a cookbook that I can follow your footsteps with your permission to cook some of your bestiest recipies.
I will try this with chicken or beef.
I made this recipe and I felt transported back to Rivne and Kiev. This is really authentic. Add some garlic rosemary bread to enjoy alongside the borscht and you have a memorable meal. And if you can find some high quality salo with Dijon mustard, even better. Слава Україні
Looks sooooo yummy! Can’t wait to make.
I might have to cut the garlic out though or hubby won’t come near me! lol. He’s not a fan of garlic breath 😆
Sure. Garlic is optional. Hope you guys enjoy this borsch recipe!
@@ifoodreal good to know! I’ll try without, even though I love garlic!
interesting style.. gonna try put the garlic last
Hope you enjoy!
@@ifoodreal I did it.. was def a good tip! Thanks!
Live in Canada . Met a couple thirty years ago and she was born in Poland . Lucky me , she gave the recipe to me . Never she put all that other stuff in it . Beets , Onion , little garlic , That's it . And the Polish love their HAm . She diced /cubed ham ( not minced ) .Gotta see the ham and it must be slightly chewy . Voila
Sounds delicious!
I like everything except I can not have potatoes..
Can I add sweet potato?
Dill is my favorite herb
Mine too. Fresh dill only!
I want to try some but I have to learn to make it😔
Can I use red cabbage? I'm craving it and I like the bite.
Yes, sure!
Is borscht served hot or cold? Everytime before we had it cold but I had it last week and they served it hot so I am confused.
I'm American, I love beets, I've heard of Borscht, and want to try it. Looking for cheap to make veggie based soups like Borscht and Gazpacho always wondered if the Borscht was served cold? Is it easy on the acid? ❤
Borscht is served hot. I'm not sure about the acid to be honest.
@@ifoodreal thank you. I've never seemed to have a problem eating beets, and as for eating them hot, that will be a first. I can't wait to eventually give it a try.
What do drink with this tasty looking dish? Slava 🇺🇦
Well, a shot of vodka would be kind of traditional. Some people do it on occasion, some not LOL.
@@ifoodreal perhaps a shot while preparing wouldn't be out if the question. Lol
Just curious ,,,, can you use a jar of red cabbage in borscht ?? ,,,, thanks ,,,
Do you mean pickled cabbage or sauerkraut? Yes you can but omit the vinegar and season borscht with salt to taste at the end.
So tasty! Have u heard about Borshcht Belt)?
No
@@ifoodreal so en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borscht_Belt
Would love to make this, but can't get dill.
Thank you for watching! You can leave out the dill and it will still be just as yummy 😋 Let me know if you try it!
Гарно.
Water instead of broth. I've never seen that before. The final product looks amazing though, so I don't know
A HISTORY OF BORSHCH - th-cam.com/video/4DPu-Ve_luU/w-d-xo.html
What kind of meat can you add to it? 😮
Cabbage before potato? Are you sure?
What's going on with the Russian Ukrainian whatever is called. What is that she added?
My Ukrainian girl will be impressed when i show how i cooked Borscht 😂
Slava Ukraini!
😘😘😘
👍❤️🌻🙏🇺🇦👍❤️
😘
Where is the beef?
SLAVA UKRAINE
❤❤❤
Very wrong cabbage add last....
Zajarka is without carrots actually best
There is no wrong with cooking borscht. Every family has their own recipe. Have a nice day!
@@ifoodreal you right there's no wrong.....ops
I too personally like cabbage to be added the last, so that it remains crunchy. But some people like very soft cabbage in their borshch, and that's fine. Borshch has hundreds of variations, so there's no wrong borshch.
It turned out tasting good but this recipe is very unorganized
You are welcome to organize it for yourself the way you like it.:)
Borscht can be made with various ingredients, but traditionally, this way is not it. Ukraine is a poor country. The ingredients are usually much more simple. You can use pork for a tasty soup base, but traditionally it won’t have more than beets and maybe onions in it.
Sorry, I could not understand your steps. You went too fast and before I know it you said it’s ready.
Pot is a little big....🙄
Cuz u can make big Bach and eat ki 2 _3 times
Girl getting chunky earring like an American
Wrong
Почти все правильно в приготовлении, только картошку кладут в начале, чтобы она почти сварилась и потом только капусту и позже всего, зажаренные на сковороде лук и свекла. Свеклу трут на терке с крупными ячейками.
how can you not make Traditional Urkrainian Borscht without MEAT???????? Disgusting. You need Pork or Beef and SALO!!!!!
Russian food ❤❤❤❤not Ukraine
Of course lol. Borscht is Ukrainian. The end.
@@ifoodreal Ukraine make sympathy after ask money 🤑🤑🤑. USA make good balance sheet after war go and see US economics data the war is No1 fool idea. Russia and USA super power. Now days France and German UK government steal sovereign idea like you food name ideological book, cultural. Hahaha white supremacy.
дякую моя подруга👌 Слава Україні !🇺🇦
Слава Україні 🔱 Героям Слава 🇺🇦
Looks terrible
Ой беда. Это не украинский борщ! Абсолютно . Скорее всего это русские щи. У украинского борща абсолютно другой рецепт ,приготовление . Жаль ,что ,очевидно русская женщина ,пытается этот русский суп выдать за украинский борщ. Мы смеялись всей семьёй. Слава Украине!
Slava Ukraini!
Thank you for your support!
