Heart Healthy Borscht With Beef

"Whether it originates in Germany, Russia or the Ukraine, borsch is borszcz is borscht! It's hearty and heart healthy beet soup (or stew if you prefer). I prefer to make it as a stew as it then sticks to the bones as one might say here in the below zero tundra. Borscht can be made with of without meat and with or without the rice wine vinegar and tomatoes/paste. How much or little one adds of these ingredients can alter its taste significantly. Necessary however are the beets, potatoes, celery, carrot and cabbage. This recipe works best served hot with a dollop of fat-free yogurt and a little extra parsley on top along with some oyster crackers. Make a lot, you'll want to have more than one bowl."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Prior to my ever hearing about the movie Julie and Julia, realeased August, 2009, I came up with an idea to make 52 different Sunday dinners at my house over the course of one year. Present would always be my saintly common-law husband Peter, my beloved 29-year-old son Elijah and his ever-thoughtful girlfriend Sabrina carrying my precious grand-darling Arianna along with any family or close friends who happen to be in town. I only half realized the great challenge before me as I tended to eat a very limited diet on a day-to-day basis. Thanks to Recipezaar I've simplified this challenge somewhat with the ingredient search engine alone. While never copying anyone's recipe exactly, I've been inspired by the volume and variety of delicious-sounding dishes at my fingertips. I Thank all contributors for taking the time to share. I'm approaching week 34 tomorrow. Thus far, based on the kids' weekly ratings, I have two five stars!! I'll publish them soon. In the meantime, Happy Cooking!
