Ingredients

1/2 cup chopped carrots

2 med. onions coarsely chopped

2 cups peeled, chopped beets

4 cups Whey

1 tbsp butter

1 cup stewed tomatoes

1 green pepper, chopped

1 large potato, peeled and chopped

1 Cup coarsely grated red cabbage

2 tbsp lemon juice

1 bay leaf

1 tbsp chopped parsley

1 cup yogurt

2 tbsp grated cucumber

1 tbsp chopped dill

6 slices pumpernickel bread, thickly buttered

Directions

In a large soup kettle put the carrots, onions, garlic and beets and cover with water, cover and simmer gently 20 minutes.

To the vegetables in the kettle, add the whey, butter, tomatoes, pepper, potato, cabbage, lemon juice, bay leaf and parsley and simmer until all the vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes.

While the “Borscht” is simmering, mix together the yogurt, cucumber and dill.

Ladle the hot borscht into bowls and heap several tablespoons of the yogurt mixture in the center of each serving. Serve at once accompanied by the bread and butter.

This soup is equally good chilled, then pureed in a blender with the yogurt topping blended in.

This sounds fabulous. I love pumpernickel bread and it will be perfect with this soup.

I've been making borscht since I was 10 years old! Your recipe is different, and I really like the whey, cucumber and yogurt here! Can't wait to try this version, thanks!

This is a great Borscht recipe (better for the belly!). I love this stuff with a hearty crusty bread (not so good for the belly!) LOL HIGH 5!

What would be a substitute for whey in this recipe? The only way I would know how to make whey is to make homemade cottage cheese.

This is very different from my recipe. It sounds good and much less fattening than mine. Thanks for the post!
