sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: buttermilk

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

beets

🥗Healthier: golden beets

💰Cheaper: canned beets

Canned beets are more accessible and save prep time.

vegetable broth

🥗Healthier: water

💰Cheaper: chicken broth

Water provides a lighter option, while chicken broth adds flavor.

hard-boiled eggs

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: chickpeas

Tofu offers a protein-rich alternative for vegans.

Cut celery stalks, beets, carrots, onion, and cabbage into small cube-shaped pieces.

Add the chopped vegetables to a pot.

Pour in a can of tomato juice (or use fresh tomatoes or tomato paste) and fill the rest of the pot with water.

Add salt to taste and a few peppercorns.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and cook for 45 minutes to an hour.

Tip: Don't worry about foam; it will go away during cooking.

To chill the borscht faster, place the pot in a sink filled with cold water.

Once it reaches room temperature, transfer the pot to the refrigerator to chill.

Meanwhile, prepare greens such as cucumbers, parsley, and dill for serving.

Slice hardboiled eggs as an optional protein source to serve with the borscht.
