This is a vegetarian twist on a Ukrainian/Russian soup. It's beautiful magenta hue is a delight to the eyes and the fresh dill really brings out it's true flavors.

The soup sounds great, although I may alter the garnish a bit ;o)

As 1/4 Russian, I don`t recon having bell peppers & celery in Borsh (btw, this is the correct spelling) :)

Right, which is why it is a 'twist on the traditional soup.' I dated a Ukrainian man and his family's recipe was spelled this way. Perhaps it's the difference between Russian and Ukrainian. The recipe is vegetarian, so it's not true to the traditional soup. I have to make up the complexity of the flavor loss from no meat somehow - which is why I chose to use celery and peppers. There are many variations of this soup out there, so bear with me.

This is a wonderful soup, very much like what my step Grandma would make on her meatless Friday suppers. Grandma Plaza was an awesome Polish cook and I loved her soups. They were the best.

Awww. that is such a sweet compliment. i sincerely appreciate it. i came across a recipe along the lines of this many years ago, and just kept altering it to my own tastes. I actually do not even like green pepper but love the flavor it adds to this soup.

Hey nice recipe. I live in Poland and I concur with you that Celery and Peppers can certainly be added to make it better. I made it myself this way and if you blend people never know what is there. :D What do russians know! :))

Ukrainian borscht is different from Russian borsh. (I have 3/4 Ukrainian in me and a little bit of Russian makes up a portion of the other 1/4.) The Russian version is more of just a beet soup.
This recipe seems similar to the borscht that I grew up with. There are a few differences, my dad would put barely into it, and also we aren't vegetarian so there was also some steak cubes in it. It's nice to find a vegetarian borscht recipe though, since my hubby is one.
I'll have to try it out some time!
