Most likely you heard about bortsch, a beet soup. Maybe you even have tried it. You may like it or not, but if you don't like it, then you haven't found your bortsch yet :) as so many different kinds of it are out there. Here is mine:
You will need (the quantity of the ingredients is approximate):
4-6 potatoes, 2-3 beets, 2 tomatoes, 2 zucchini, a third of a cabbage head, 3 carrots, 1 onion, meat (a chunk of beef, better with a bone and some fat), garlic if you like it.
1. Put meat into a big pan with water and leave it on the oven until it boils, probably it will be after about 20 minutes. As soon as it boils make the heat less and take off all the foam with a spoon.
2. While you are waiting for the meat to boil, peel and cut potatoes, beets, tomatoes, zucchini, onions and shred carrots. But don’t mix it yet.
3. Fry onion, beet and carrots with salt, garlic, pepper. Don’t burn
4. After you have taken the foam off, put into the soup potatoes and the mix of fried onion and carrots.
5. Then shred or cut into thin pieces cabbage. Add it to the soup.
6. Add tomatoes and zucchini. You may add some spices you like, but don’t go overboard with it.
7. When serve the soup add some sour cream, it’s not that fattening really, but it makes the soup taste much better.
Note: stick to the order how you put the vegetable, because potatoes and zucchini for example have different amount of time needed in order to be cooked.
