I made this borscht today and it was wonderful! One of the best I've had. I really liked the fact that the beet flavor wasn't predominante as we aren't big beet fans. The directions were a bit odd though and I had to read them over a few times to make sure I got it; I wasn't sure where to add the dill, so I put it in the pot at the end. And, I don't care for crunchy cabbage so I sauteed the entire bunch. I also thought it needed more salt and pepper then stated, but we like salty things. All in all I loved this one. Thank you!!

This soup was amazing. I loved it, and my husband even like it too! The only change I made (because I like beets) was I chopped the beets and left them in the soup. I fully suggest the dollop of sour cream; it really adds to the overall taste.

I come from a Polish family and haven't had Borscht this good since my grandma passed away. It was absolutly delicious! I skipped the step where you take out some tomato mixture and added it later, it didn't seem nessessary. I would recommend this to anyone.

I really wanted to make this recipe but I'm somewhat lazy so I omitted all the steps done in the skillet and just sauteed garlic and onions in my soup pot, added the cabbage, sauteed some more and then just added everything else in the diced/canned/liquid form (excluding the dairy). At the end, I took an immersion blender and pureed it just slightly to give it a thick but chunky texture. I quite like the flavour (it was even better the next day!), but of course I don't know what the original would have been like.

I didn't throw out the beet, instead I pureed half and diced half. I also left out the green pepper. Very delicious, my book club still talks about how they loved it.

Good. I used three beat and kept them in the soup. May have been better without all the beets (like the recipe says) It was very yummy topped with sour cream and extra dill YUM!!!
