Beef Borscht With Sour Cream

Beef Borscht With Sour Cream


1. First Day:

2. Place the marrow bone, 1 tablespoons salt, and 2 quarts water in a deep 8 quart (2 gal) kettle or soup pot.

3. Cover and bring to a boil; skim the surface.

4. Reduce heat; simmer, covered one hour.

5. Add tomatoes, quartered onion, celery, parsley, peppercorns, and bay leaf; simmer, covered for 2 hours.

6. Remove from heat.

7. Lift out the beef; set aside.

8. Remove marrow bone and discard.

9. Strain the soup; skim off fat. (You should have about 9 cups of liquid.).

10. Return the soup and beef to the kettle.

11. Add beets, cabbage, carrots, chopped onion, dill, vinegar, sugar, and 1 teaspoons salt; bring to a boil.

12. Reduce heat; simmer covered for 30 minute or until beef & veggies are tender.

13. Remove from heat and refrigerate over night.

14. Day Two:

15. Remove the beef from the soup. Cut it into cubes and return to the soup. Heat gently to boiling.

16. Top each serving with a spoonful of sour cream and garnish with snipped dill.

17. I have no idea how many servings this actually makes since I always divided it up and froze it. I've guessed for this and if I was wrong I apologize.
