borsht is another type of beet soup — you make it with carrot, potato, onion and beets, the base stock can be whatever you have on hand though I think traditionally its done with beef stock. It’s really good.

Hi Preeti,
Because of the pepper, this soup does not taste very sweet.

I’ve heard of beet upkari and sandwiches but never of soup. I’m curious……does this taste sweet?
I’m gonna try this soon and hopefully my hubby wont guess it’s beet.

HI Annita,
Thanks for the comment.
I do a lot of trial and error like this. Sometimes it turns out to be horrible, but sometimes I get a very good dish .
