Ingredients
  • 2 litres beef stock or vegetable stock
  • 1 large onion, peeled and chopped
  • 1 bouquet garni (your choice of herbs)
  • 1 can mushrooms, or fresh or as my Mother-in-law did, she took a small handful of dehydrated mushrooms from Poland and soaked them overnight.
  • 3 uncooked medium-sized beetroots, peeled and sliced thickly
  • 300 ml kwas - ascorbic acid
  • 1 tsp. sugar
  • Sour Cream and homemade croutons to garnish

Directions
  1. Heat beef stock in a large saucepan.
  2. Add onion, bouquet garni, mushrooms and sliced beetroot.
  3. Boil on medium high heat for 1 hour.
  4. Strain the soup and stir the kwas into the clear soup.
  5. Add sugar to taste and reheat if necessary without boiling.
  6. Serves 8.
  7. Note: My Mother-in-law always added small little meat ravioli's or tortellini to the Barszcz.
  8. You can add vegetables such as celery, carrot, potato or parsnip - roughly chopped.
